Abstract
- Abstract: Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin film was grown on CaF2 (11–21) substrate by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) and the structure, surface morphology and the opto-electrical properties of the film were investigated. It was found that preferential c-axis oriented ZnO film was highly transparent and quite smooth. In photoluminescence (PL) spectrum at 10K, the neutral donor bound exciton (D0X) emission was identified at 3.362eV (I4), the neutral acceptor bound exciton (A0X) emission at 3.346eV (I9). Free A- and B-exciton emissions at 3.374eV and 3.386eV, respectively, as well as the phonon replicas of free A-exciton and D0X were also observed, indicating high optical quality of the ZnO film. Temperature-dependent PL spectra demonstrated that the free exciton emission was dominant at a temperature larger than 215K. Hall measurement showed that the ZnO/CaF2 film exhibited n-type conduction, with the resistivity of 114Ωcm and the Hall mobility of 15.7cm2/Vs. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
