摘要
Yb3+-doped CaWO4 thin films were prepared by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering and the influence of different deposition pressures and time on the structure, surface morphology and optical properties of films were discussed. XRD results confirm that the samples have a tetragonal scheelite structure and the films have a preferential orientation along the (004) direction under different deposition pressures. SEM images show that the surface morphology of the film consists of spherical-like grains and voids. PL spectra indicate that the films emit strong near infrared light centered at 994 nm under 260 nm excitation. The luminescence intensity of Yb3+ trends to irregular with the increasing of sputtering pressure, and firstly increases and then decreases with the increasing of sputtering time. Excellent luminescence properties of CaWO4:Yb3+ thin film might be regarded as a potential luminescence converter layer for enhanced silicon solar cell performance.
