Title: | A study of transparent P-type semiconducting oxide Cu-Al-O | Authors: | ONG CHIN HOCK | Keywords: | P-type, Transparent, Semiconducting Oxide, Cu-Al-O | Issue Date: | 26-Aug-2004 | Citation: | ONG CHIN HOCK (2004-08-26). A study of transparent P-type semiconducting oxide Cu-Al-O. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | The bulk CuAlO2 powder and targets for physical vapour depositions were successfully fabricated. CuAlO2 phase was achieved at 1200A?C after calcination for more than 10 hours. The bulk CuAlO2 shows p-type conductivity and has an average resistivity of ~114 i??-cm. Cu-Al-O thin films were deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering. Reactive sputtering of metallic Cu and Al targets were also investigated in the environment of Ar/O2. Cu/Al atomic ratio close to 1-to-1 was achieved. The films prepared by PLD and sputtering of single-oxide target showed poor conductivities whereas films prepared by reactive co-sputtering showed moderate conductivity. Post-deposition annealing (PDA) was performed to improve the electrical properties of the as-deposited films. The films still possessed multiple phases after annealed at 750A?C. Formation of nearly-pure CuAlO2 thin films was achieved after annealing at 1000A?C for 3 hours with Ar flow and the electrical conductivity improved significantly. | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/27725 |
