Optical Properties of ZnO Films Grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition

펄스 레이저 증착법으로 성장된 ZnO 막의 광학 특성

We present the effect of substrate temperature on the structural and optical properties of ZnO films grown on sapphire substrate by pulsed laser deposition. Growing at higher substrate temperature results in an increase in the surface roughness. The optimum c-axis orientation of the ZnO films occurs at the substrate temperature of 700$^{\circ}C$ The decay time shows a rapid increase in the substrate temperature from 400$^{\circ}C$ to 500$^{\circ}C$ and falls down gradually as the substrate temperature is approached to 700$^{\circ}C$.
