Growth of ZnS Films and Application in Heterojunction

Article Preview

Abstract:

ZnS films were prepared by radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering method. The effects of substrate temperature and annealing treatment on the properties of ZnS films were studied. The ZnS films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-visible spectrophotometer, and electrical measurements. The results showed that the higher substrate temperature and post-deposition annealing treatment was helpful in improving the crystalline quality of the films, and the film had an n-type conductivity. N-type ZnS films were also deposited on p-type single-crystalline silicon (Si) substrates to fabricate ZnS/ Si heterojunction. The current-voltage (I-V) characteristic of the heterojunction was examined, which showed a rectifying behavior with turn-on voltage of about 2V.
