STRUCTURAL AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF UNDOPED AND SILVER, LITHIUM AND COBALT-DOPED ZnO THIN FILMS

Undoped and silver, lithium and cobalt-doped ZnO thin films have been successfully deposited on glass by chemical bath deposition (CBD). The reaction temperature was 50∘C and the films were annealed at 400∘C for 4[Formula: see text]h in a high temperature furnace. UV/VIS spectrum was used to determine optical transmittance, optical band gap ([Formula: see text] and absorbance values of Ag:ZnO, Co:ZnO, Li:ZnO and undoped ZnO thin films. Optical band gap ([Formula: see text] and absorbance values of undoped ZnO, Ag:ZnO, Co:ZnO and Li:ZnO thin films were found as 0.0158, 0.0064, 0.2638, 0.0956 and 3.24, 3.13, 3.27, 2.96 eV, respectively. Extinction coefficients and refraction indexes of the films were found to be 0.0096, 0.0038, 0.0068, 0.019 (extinction coefficient) and 1.26, 1.14, 1.66, 2.33 (refraction index), respectively. X-ray patterns of undoped ZnO, Ag:ZnO, Co:ZnO and Li:ZnO thin films were confirmed as amorphous.

In the present work, pure and Fe-doped ZnO thin films were deposited on glass substrates by sol–gel method. Zinc acetate and iron nitrate were used as the starting material and dopant source, respectively. The concentration of Fe doping was 6[Formula: see text]at.% and 8[Formula: see text]at.%. The optical and electronic properties of pure and Fe-doped ZnO thin films such as refraction index, extinction coefficient, dielectric function and optical band gap energy of the layers were obtained by spectroscopic ellipsometry method in the wavelength range of 300–900[Formula: see text]nm. The incidence angle of the layers kept 70[Formula: see text]. Also data obtained by Kramers–Kronig relations were used for comparison. The influence of Fe-doping concentration on the optical and electronic properties of thin films was studied. The transmittance data of ZnO thin films showed that 6[Formula: see text]at.% Fe-doped ZnO thin film has the highest transmittance value. Dielectric function of pure ZnO films was found to be higher compared with Fe-doped ones. Also it can be deduced from the results that Fe doping influences the optical band gap energy of thin films.
