High Crystalline Cu2O Thin Films Prepared by Electric Current Heating Using Copper Wire

Article Preview

Abstract:

Cu wires were heated by electric currents to fabricate Cu2O thin films. The films were successfully deposited on glass substrates placed above the wires at air pressures in the range of 100 - 40 Pa. Then the films were annealed in a controlled atmosphere and investigated the crystallinity, morphology and the time response to illumination of the films. After annealing at 800 °C at atmospheric pressure with oxygen partial pressure of 12 Pa, the crystallinity was increased and the time response of photoconduction was successfully improved.
