Анотація | Nanocrystalline ZnO thin films were deposited by intermittent spray pyrolysis using different alcoholic and aqua-alcoholic precursor solvents. The XRD analysis reveals the polycrystallinity of hexagonal wurtzite type ZnO films with preferred c-axis orientation along [002] direction. The polycrystallinity increased due to use of aqua-alcoholic precursor solvent. The crystallite size was found to vary from 41.7 nm to 59.4 nm and blue shift in band-gap energy (3.225 eV to 3.255 eV) was observed due to aqua-alcoholic to alcoholic precursor solvent transition. The films deposited using alcoholic precursor solvent exhibited high transmittance (> 92 %) with low dark resistivity (10 – 3 Ω·cm) as compared to aqua-alcoholic precursor solvent. The effect of precursor solvent on resistivity, carrier concentration (η – /cm3), carrier mobility (μ – cm2V – 1s – 1), sheet resistance (Ω/) and figure of merit (ΦTC) is also reported. We recommend ethanol or methanol as a superior precursor solvent over aqua-alcoholic precursor solvent for deposition of device quality ZnO thin films. |
