The Effect of Substrate Temperatures on the Structural and Optical Properties of Cosputtered ZnO and AlN Thin Films

Article Preview

Abstract:

AlN doped ZnO thin films were prepared on glass and Si (100) substrates by RF sputtering. For AlN doped ZnO at RF powers of 200 W (ZnO target) and 200W (AlN target), the ZnO (002) peak showed the highest intensity at the substrate temperature of 400˚ C. The prepared films showed good transmission of above 72 % in the visible range. The calculated values of energy band gaps were in the range (3.42 eV - 3.54 eV) for the films prepared at different substrate temperatures.
