Effect of Annealing Temperature on Electrical Properties of ZnTe Layers Grown by Thermal Evaporation

Article Preview

Abstract:

The electrical properties of evaporated ZnTe films were investigated with emphasis on the effects of an annealing temperature from 600oC to 800oC by RTA technique. Crystallinity, carrier concentration, sheet resistance, and mobility are shown to be dependent on the annealing temperature. The highest carrier concentration and lowest sheet resistance are 7.9×1015 cm-3 and 9300 Ω/□ at an annealing temperature of 700oC, respectively. The mobility was found to vary from 20 to 50 cm2V-1S-1. The ZnTe thin films using thermal evaporation can find applications in solar cell or light emitting diodes
