摘要
We report on the characterization of ZnO thin films grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) using diethyl zinc (DEZ) and tert-butanol (TBOH) as precursors. Substrate temperature proved to be a crucial factor in the crystallization process, as it vastly impacted the structural properties of the samples studied. Highly c-axis oriented films with large grain size (52 nm), low tensile strain (0.6%), uniform substrate coverage and a columnar structure devoid of hexagonal needles were successfully deposited on n-Si (100) substrates. The temperature-dependent luminescence spectra recorded confirmed the excellent quality of the material obtained in this work. Our results so far set TBOH apart as an outstanding oxygen source for the MOCVD growth of ZnO. (C) 2004 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
