Regulate the content of magnesium in MgxZn1−xO films by vacuum anneal
2008
Abstract Mg x Zn 1− x O thin films were grown on c -sapphire substrates by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), followed by annealing in vacuum at different temperatures for 1 h. The UV emission peak was blue shifted in the photoluminescence (PL) spectra and a dramatic shift of (0 0 2) diffraction peak to higher angle was observed in X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern with increasing anneal temperature. This suggested the band gap and the lattice parameter of Mg x Zn 1− x O had been affected by annealing in vacuum. Furthermore, the structure of the film became sparser due to annealing in vacuum. From the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ICP of the Mg x Zn 1− x O film, we can find that the anneal temperature have an effect on the content of each element in Mg x Zn 1− x O quantitatively. In addition, the value of x in Mg x Zn 1− x O varied slightly as the annealing temperature increased. The above phenomena indicated that annealing in vacuum could slightly adjust the percentage of Mg indirectly in Mg x Zn 1− x O film and offer a good idea in Mg x Zn 1− x O devices facture.
