Average Roughness

AbstractAluminum nitride (AlN) thin films have been synthesized by ion-beam assisted deposition method. Film deposition has been performed on the substrates of silicon single crystal, soda-lime glass and alumin A. the influence of the substrate roughness on the film roughness is studied. the substrate temperature has been kept at room temperature and 473K and the kinetic energy of the incident nitrogen ion beam and the deposition rate have been fixed to 0.5 keV and 0.07 nm/s, respectively. the microstructure of the synthesized films has been examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the surface morphology has been observed by atomic force microscopy(AFM). IN the XRD patterns of films synthesized at both room temperature and 473K, the diffraction line indicating the alN (10*0) can be discerned and the broad peak composed of two lines indicating the a1N (00*2) and a1N (10*1) planes is also observed. aFM observations for 100 nm films reveal that (1) the surface of the films synthesized on the silicon single crystal and soda-lime glass substrates is uniform and smooth on the nanometer scale, (2) the average roughness of the films synthesized on the alumina substrate is similar to that of the substrate, suggesting the evaluation of the average roughness of the film itself is difficult in the case of the rough substrate, and (3) the average roughness increases with increasing the substrate temperature.

Charge Carrier Density

Transparent conducting oxides (TCO) with high electrical conductivity and at the same time high transparency in the visible spectrum are an important class of materials widely used in many devices requiring a transparent contact such as light-emitting diodes, solar cells and display screens. Since the improvement of electrical conductivity usually leads to degradation of optical transparency, a fine-tuning sample preparation process and a better understanding of the correlation between structural and transport properties is necessary for optimizing the properties of TCO for use in such devices. Here we report a structural and magnetotransport study of tin oxide (SnO2), a well-known and commonly used TCO, prepared by a simple and relatively cheap Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Vapour Deposition (APCVD) method in the form of thin films deposited on soda-lime glass substrates. The thin films were deposited at two different temperatures (which were previously found to be close to optimum for our setup), 590 °C and 610 °C, and with (doped) or without (undoped) the addition of fluorine dopants. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Grazing Incidence X-ray Diffraction (GIXRD) revealed the presence of inhomogeneity in the samples, on a bigger scale in form of grains (80–200 nm), and on a smaller scale in form of crystallites (10–25 nm). Charge carrier density and mobility extracted from DC resistivity and Hall effect measurements were in the ranges 1–3 × 1020 cm−3 and 10–20 cm2/Vs, which are typical values for SnO2 films, and show a negligible temperature dependence from room temperature down to −269 °C. Such behaviour is ascribed to grain boundary scattering, with the interior of the grains degenerately doped (i.e., the Fermi level is situated well above the conduction band minimum) and with negligible electrostatic barriers at the grain boundaries (due to high dopant concentration). The observed difference for factor 2 in mobility among the thin-film SnO2 samples most likely arises due to the difference in the preferred orientation of crystallites (texture coefficient).

The undoped and 1%, 2%, and 3% Cd-doped MgO nanostructures were grown by SILAR method on the soda lime glass substrate. X-ray diffractometer (XRD), ultraviolet–visible spectrometer, scanning electron microscope, photoluminescence (PL), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements were taken to investigate Cd doping effects on the structural, optical, and morphological properties of MgO nanostructures. XRD measurements show that the samples have cubic structure and planes of (200), (220) of MgO and (111), (200), and (220) of CdO. It was observed that band gaps increase with rising Cd doping rate in MgO thin film. The surface morphology of samples demonstrates that MgO nanostructures have been affected by the Cd doping. PL measurements show that undoped and Cd-doped MgO thin films can radiate in the visible emission region.

Abstract: In this paper, suitability of thallium sulphide films were investigated as an alternative to conventional silicon and germanium that were used as window layers in solar cells. Thin films were deposited on soda lime glass (SLG) substrates in a chemical bath containing Thallium Chloride (TlCl2) and Thiourea (NH2)2CS which was conditioned at 80 ºC for about 5 hours to deposit the films. Effects of annealing on the film samples at 300 ºC and 350 ºC were studied respectively by use of UV-VIS Avantes electrophotometer and Four-Point-Probe (FPP) machine in the light region with wavelength range from 200 nm to 1000 nm. The results obtained suggest that the thin films obtained are good materials for optoelectronics. The absorption spectra exhibited a relatively high energy band-gap. Materials of this nature are good for window layers which serve as passage to the absorber layer where needed charge carriers are produced. Keywords: Thin film, Thallium Sulphide, Window layer, Optoelectronics, Solar cells.
