Growth of ZnTe:O Thin Films by Oxygen-Plasma-Assisted Pulsed Laser Deposition

Abstract: We studied oxygen incorporation into ZnTe thin films with oxygen ambient and oxygen plasma during pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The ZnTe layers deposited by oxygen-plasma-assisted PLD under oxygen partial pressures showed the enhancement of visible absorption due to TeO x formation by oxygen incorporation, which was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurement. The ZnTe:O thin films grown under oxygen ambient and plasma produced an energy band structure at … Show more

“…Since optical transitions from and to such mid-gap states have similar magnitude to the strong direct-gap bulk transitions and correspond to visible-light energy range, the O-doping into II-VI systems is expected useful for the solar-cell application by utilizing multi-photon absorption processes. Similar band gap reductions were also observed in other II-VI systems [5][6][7][8][9].…”

“…The coupling of laser irradiation and plasmas, which can be realized either at low or atmospheric pressure, has turned out to be a powerful combination for a number of different applications. For example, plasmaassisted pulsed laser deposition (PLD), which is performed in vacuum environment, allows the generation of special functional thin films [1,2]. In this context, laser-plasma coupling also offers the possibility of increasing the total efficiency of PLD processes by a reduction of the laser ablation threshold of some target materials such as tungsten due to the plasma perforation of the target surface and a subsequent laser-induced bursting of gas-filled pores [3].…”
