摘要
Zinc nitride films were deposited on glass or silicon substrates by reactive magnetron radio frequency sputtering of zinc in either N-2-Ar or N-2-Ar-O-2 ambient. The effects of varying the nitrogen contents and the substrate temperature were investigated. X-ray diffraction data showed that the as-deposited films contain the zinc nitride cubic crystalline phase with a preferred orientation, and Raman scattering measurements revealed Zn-N related modes. According to energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis, the as-deposited films were nitrogen-rich and contained only a small fraction of oxygen. Hall-effect measurements showed that p-type zinc nitride with carrier concentration of similar to 10(19) cm(-3), mobility of similar to 10(1) cm(2)/Vs, resistivity of similar to 10(-2) Omega*cm, was obtained. The photon energy dependence of optical transmittance suggested that the material has an indirect bandgap. (c) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
