Nickel (Ni)-doped zinc oxide (ZnO) layers were deposited simultaneously by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering from a Ni and ZnO target. A Ni seed layer was used as catalyst prior to the deposition of Ni-doped ZnO. The Ni seed layer was grown with 15 sccm of Ar flow rate while the Ni-doped ZnO was grown with mixture of Ar:O2at 25:5 sccm gas flow rate ratio. The deposition pressure is 5 mTorr for both Ni seed layer and Ni-doped ZnO layer. This paper studies the influence of deposition temperature to the Ni seed layer and Ni-doped ZnO layer at temperature range from room temperature (RT) until 500°C with an increment of every 100°C. The sample was characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) to determine the structural, crystallinity and optical properties of the deposited layer. FESEM surface analysis shows that uniformity of the nanocolumns is improved when deposition temperature is increased. The transmittance of the deposited nanocolumns was improved when temperatures are increased to 500°C.

In this research, we fabricated UV photoconductive sensor using aluminium (Al)-doped ZnO nanorod-nanoflake network thin film. These nanostructures were deposited on the seed-layer-coated glass substrate using sonicated sol-gel immersion method. By using Al contacts, it was found that the performance of the UV photoconductive sensor is very good. The responsivity of the device was 46.4 mA/W with sensitivity of 17.5 under 365-nm UV light (5 mW/cm2) at bias voltage of 10 V. Our study revealed that these nanostructures are very promising material for the UV photoconductive sensor applications.
