The Effect of the Cu Source on Optical Properties of Cu-Doped ZnO Films

Article Preview

Abstract:

Cu-doped ZnO (CZO) films have been widely discussed due to its potential applications in semiconductor devices, such as gas sensors or solar cells, but few articles were reported to show the effect on properties of CZO films by using different Cu sources. The article demonstrates that CZO films have been prepared by using different Cu source via a simple ultrasonic spray method, in which copper nitrate and copper acetate were used as copper sources. Optical properties of CZO films prepared by copper nitrate and copper acetate were investigated by transmittance and photoluminescence measurement. The X-ray diffraction analysis and field emission scanning electron microscopy were used to investigate the composition and the morphology of the films. The CZO films prepared by using copper acetate shows better optical properties by comprehensive analysis.
