摘要
Optical and structural properties of n -ZnO films grown on a p -Si (111) substrate by atomic layer deposition were observed using in situ synchrotron x-ray diffraction during annealing. The photoluminescence showed a complicated photon response with increasing annealing temperature. In situ x-ray diffraction indicated the growth of grains for an annealing temperature from 500 to 800 °C with the orientation altering from polycrystalline to preferential (200). Measurements with a time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometer indicated that the outgassing of hydrogen atoms and ZnO/Si interdiffusion behavior were correlated with the intensity and position of emissions in photoluminescence spectra. © 2010 American Institute of Physics.
