We report the deposition of aluminium doped zinc nitride film (Al-Zn3N2) on glass substrates by RF sputtering. Thermal oxidation of the film under different annealing temperature (500°C to 600°C) was carried out. Structural and electrical properties of the annealed films were investigated. XRD analysis showed that Al-Zn3N2film was successfully converted into Al-N zinc oxide (ANZO) at 500°C. I-V characteristics of the films were measured and the lowest estimated resistivity of the films of 4kΩ.cm can be achieved at 600°C.

ABSTRACTExplosive Crystallization occurs in cw laser annealing on a-Si films deposited on glass substrates at laser scan speeds higher than 30 cm/sec. Optical, structural and electrical properties of the crystallized films at various laser scan speeds confirm the existence of two kinds of explosive growth depending on the state of crystallinity of the starting material.

The structural and electrical properties of ZnTe thin films were investigated as a function of substrate temperature. Vacuum evaporated thin films of Zinc Telluride (ZnTe) of 10kÅ thickness have been deposited on ultrasonically cleaned glass substrates at various substrate temperatures (303K, 373K 448K). Structural parameters were obtained using XRD analysis. It was observed that the films deposited were cubic in nature with a strong (111) texture. Electrical parameters (Hall Effect measurement) have been obtained and studied at various temperatures in the range 303-393K. It is observed that Hall coefficient remains positive throughout the whole temperature range indicating that holes are the majority carriers. The results obtained from structural and electrical parameters study have been correlated and it is found that the thin films deposited at higher substrate temperatures possess increasingly good crystalline structure with improved electrical conductivity along with an increase in carrier concentration and mobility of carriers.

The V1.9W0.1O5 thin films deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by RF sputtering method exhibited fairly good TCR and dielectric properties. It was found that film crystallinity, dielectric properties, and TCR properties were strongly dependent upon the annealing temperature. The dielectric constants of the V1.9W0.1O5 thin films annealed at 300°C were 37.7, with a dielectric loss of 2.535, respectively. Also, the TCR values of the V1.9W0.1O5 thin films annealed at 300°C were about -3.7%/K.

     In this work, vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) thin films were prepared using rf magnetron sputtering on silicon wafer and glass substrates from V2O5 target at 200 °C substrate temperature, followed by annealing at 400 and 500 °C in air for 2 h. The prepared thin films were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), forier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-visible absorbance, and direct current coductivity to study the effects of annealing temperature on their structural and optical properties. The XRD analysis exhibited that the annealing promoted the highly crystallized V2O5 phase that is highly orientated along the c direction. The crystalline size increased from 22.5 nm to 35.4 nm with increasing the annealing temperature to 500 °C. The FTIR spectroscopy showed the enhancement of the characteristics band for the V2O5 with increasing annealing temperature to 500 °C. The optical study showed that the energy gap for the sample deposited on glass slides decreased from 2.85 eV, for as deposited sample, to 2.6 eV upon annealing the sample to 500 °C. There was a linear dependence between sensitivity and relative humidity (RH) at the range from 25% to 70%, while the behavior was exponential  at high RH range.

In this work the effect of annealing temperature on the structure and the electrical properties of Bi thin films was studied, the Bi films were deposited on glass substrates at room temperature by thermal evaporation technique with thickness (0.4 µm) and rate of deposition equal to 6.66Å/sec, all samples are annealed in a vacuum for one hour. The X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the prepared samples are polycrystalline and it exhibits hexagonal structure. The electrical properties of these films were studied with different annealing temperatures, the d.c conductivity for films decreases from 16.42 ? 10-2 at 343K to 10.11?10-2 (?.cm)-1 at 363K. The electrical activation energies Ea1 and Ea2 increase from 0.031 to 0.049eV and from 0.096 to 0. 162 eV with increasing of annealing temperature from 343K to 363K, respectively. Hall measurements showed that all the films are p-type.

This project has been focused on the electrical and optical properties respectively on the effect of Undoped zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films at different annealing temperature which is varied 400 oC, 450 oC, 500 oC, and 550 oC.Undoped ZnO solutions were deposited onto the glass substrates using sol-gel spin coating method. This project was involved with three phases, which are thin films preparation, deposition and characterization. The thin films were characterized using Current Voltage (I-V) measurement and UV-vis-NIR spectrophotometer for electrical properties and optical properties. The electrical properties show that the resistivity is the lowest at 500 oC which its resistivity is 5.36 × 104Ωcm-1. The absorption coefficient spectrum obtained from UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer measurement shows all films exhibit very low absorption in the visible (400-800nm) and near infrared (NIR) (>800nm) range but exhibit high absorption in the UV range.

In this work, copper-doped zinc oxide films (ZnO:Cu) were deposited by spray pyrolysis on glass substrates. The influence of doping concentration (0-10 at.%) on morphological, structural, optical and electrical properties of the ZnO:Cu films was investigated. Electrical characterization consisted in measuring the variation of electrical conductivity with temperature; they presented a typical semiconductor material behavior. Based on x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, it was able to confirm that the films are polycrystalline having a wurtzite hexagonal structure, preferentially oriented in the c-axis (002), and the crystallite size ranged from 41.60 to 50.70 nm. The optical characterization revealed that ZnO:Cu films present band gap energy between 3.18 and 3.27 eV. The films were homogeneous with good adhesion to the substrate. The results indicate the viability of using them in optoelectronic devices.

AbstractAmorphous CoMnNiO film is doposited on oxidized Si substrate by RF sputtering equipment. Structure relaxation occurs in the amorphous CoMnNiO film when it is annealed below 550°C. Annealed in the range from 600°C to 1000°C, the amorphous film is converted into the polycrystal. After annealing in rich oxygen atmosphere, the amorphous film is transformed into spinel solid solution with stable structure and good electrical properties. The electrical conductivity will be reduced due to formation of low valence oxides when annealed without oxygen. As annealing temperature is higher than 1000°C, some spinel solid solutions will be resolved into low valence oxides CoO and NiO, reducing the conductivity of the CoMnNiO film.
