ABSTRACTCuxO thin films have been deposited on a quartz substrate by reactive radio frequency (rf) magnetron sputtering at different target powers Pt (140-190 W) while keeping other growth process parameters fixed. Room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) measurements indicate considerable improvement of crystallinity for the films deposited at Pt>170 W, with most pronounced excitonic features being observed in the film grown using Pt=190 W. These results corroborate well with the surface morphology of the films, which was found more flat, smooth and homogeneous for Pt >170 W films in comparison with those deposited at lower powers.

ABSTRACTZn0.90Co0.10O and Zn0.85[Co0.50Fe0.50]0.15O targets were used to grow thin films by rf magnetron sputtering. XRD patterns of the films showed a strong preferred orientation along c-axis. Zn0.90Co0.10O film showed a transmittance above 75% in the visible range, while the transmittance of the Zn0.85[Co0.50Fe0.50]0.15O film was about 45%; with three absorption peaks attributed to d-d transitions of tetrahedrally coordinated Co2+. The band gap values for Zn0.90Co0.10O and Zn0.85[Co0.50Fe0.50]0.15O films were 2.95 and 2.70 eV respectively, which are slightly less than ZnO bulk. The Zn0.90Co0.10O film showed a relatively large positive magnetoresistance (MR) at the high magnetic field in the temperature range from 7 to 50 K, which reached 11.9% a 7K for the magnetoresistance. The lowest MR was found at 100 K. From M-H curve measured at room temperature shown a probable antiferromagnetic behavior, although was possible to observe little coercive field of 30 Oe and 40 Oe for Zn0.90Co0.10O and Zn0.85[Co0.50Fe0.50]0.15O films, respectively.

Radio Frequency Magnetron Sputtering

70TeO2-30WO3 glass thin films were fabricated using radio-frequency magnetron sputtering method and the effects of processing parameters on the growth rate, the surface morphologies, the crystallinity, and refractive indices of thin films have been investigated using AFM, XRD, SEM, and UV-Vis-IR spectrometer. Amorphous glass thin films with surface roughness of 4~6 nm could be formed only at room temperature and crystalline WO3 phase was observed in all the films prepared at above the room temperature. The deposition rate strongly depended on the processing parameters. It increased with increasing rf power and with decreasing processing pressure. Especially, it changed remarkably as varying the Ar/O2 gas flow ratio from 40sccm/0sccm to 0sccm/40sccm. When the films were formed in pure Ar atmosphere it shows a deposition rate of ~0.2 μm/h, whereas ~1.5 μm/h when the films was formed in pure O2 atmosphere. The refractive indices of TeO2-WO3glass thin films could be measured to be about 1.849~2.165 depending on the wavelength in the range of 500-1100 nm and the bandgap energy of glass thin film was ~3.34 eV.
