Fabrication of Conductive ZnO Thin Filn Using UV-Enhanced Atomic Layer Deposition

We fabricated conductive zinc oxide (ZnO) thin film at low temperature by UV-enhanced atomic layer deposition. The atomic layer deposition relies on alternate pulsing of the precursor gases onto the substrate surface and subsequent chemisorption of the precursors. In this experiment, diethylzinc (DEZ) and $H_2O$ were used as precursors with UV light. The UV light was very effective to improve the conductivity of the ZnO thin film. The thickness, transparency and resistivity were investigated by ellisometry, UV-visible spectroscopy and Four-point probe.
