摘要
Electrical and photoelectrical properties of nondoped and doped zinc oxide films coated on glass plates by the dip-coating method are investigated at room temperature in various ambient atmospheres. The dark conductivity of the nondoped films exponentially decreased with decreasing film thickness while the conductivity under illumination of 350 nm light was almost constant at 10(0) S . cm(-1) irrespective of the film thickness. Consequently thinner films showed larger photoresponse than thicker films. This thickness dependence is explained by the variation of ZnO particle size with the film thickness (fine particle model) and the additional effect of the Schottky barrier generated between the film and gold electrodes.
