The Effect Of Substrate Temperature And Annealing On The Photoresponse Of Zno Uv Sensor

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is a II-VI compound semiconductor with a direct band gap of 3.37 eV and a high exciton binding energy of 60 meV. Thus, ZnO based optoelectronic devices working in UV region have been studied extensively. For the wide applications of ZnO, numerous ZnO thin films nanostructure prepara...

The findings of this part include improvement of the crystalline and optical quality due to heat treatment-by increasing the deposition temperature (Room Temperature to 200 °C in this experiment) provides atoms with enough activation energy to diffuse into the stable atomic sites in the crystal lattice and impurities to move to grain boundary, resulting in forming large crystallites through cluster coarsening, the demonstration of UV and green emissions showing its intensity was temperature dependence. Significant drop in decay time td in photoresponse was also revealed. The second part was to characterize the ZnO sample deposited to different thickness. The findings of this part include the rise in PL intensity as the thickness increase. The maximum UV illuminated current to leakage current was at the thickness of 1230 nm.
