    Study of Undoped and Indium Doped Zno Thin Films Deposited by Sol Gel Method
    (Springer Verlag, 2018) Medjaldi, M.; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Boudine, B.; Zaabat, M.; Halimi, O.; Sebais, M.; Özyüzer, Lütfi; 04.05. Department of Pyhsics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    In this paper, we report the effects of Indium doping concentrations (from 0 to 10wt%) on the structural, morphological, and optical properties of deposited In doped ZnO (IZO) thin films prepared by the sol–gel method through the dip coating technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicates that all ZnO thin films have a polycrystalline nature with a hexagonal wurtzite phase with (002) as a preferential orientation. XRD results demonstrate that the particle size of ZnO decreased with the increase in Indium concentrations. Raman scattering spectra confirmed the wurtzite phase and the presence of intrinsic defects in our samples. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements, confirmed the presence of zinc, oxygen and indium elements which is in agreement with XPS results. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the films exhibit defects-related visible emission peaks, with intensities differing owing to different concentrations of zinc vacancies. UV–Vis spectrometer measurements show that all the films are highly transparent in the visible wavelength region (≥ 70%) and presented two different absorption edges at about 3.21 eV and 3.7 eV, these may be correspond to the band gap of zinc oxide and indium oxide respectively.

    Comparative Study of Annealing and Gold Dopant Effect on Dc Sputtered Vanadium Oxide Films for Bolometer Applications

    Vanadium oxide (VOx) thin film has been widely used for IR detectors and it is one of the promising materials for THz detectors due to its high temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) values. VOx films with proper TCR values have also high resistance and it restricts bolometer performance especially for uncooled bolometers. To overcome this problem, deposition at elevated temperatures or annealing approach has been accepted and used but gold co-deposition approach has been proposed recently. In this study, vanadium oxide films were fabricated on high resistivity silicon substrates by reactive direct current magnetron sputtering in different O2/Ar atmosphere at room temperature. We investigated influence of oxygen partial pressure during deposition process and fabricated VOx thin films with sufficient TCR values for bolometer applications. In order to decrease resistivity of the deposited films, post annealing and gold doping approaches were performed separately. Effect of both post annealing process and gold doping process on structural and electrical properties of VOx thin films deposited at room temperature were investigated and detailed comparison between these methods were presented. We obtained the best possible approach to obtain optimum conditions for the highly reproducible VOx thin films which have the best resistivity and suitable TCR value for bolometer applications.
