Synthesis and electrical properties of SnO2-ZnO heterostructures

초록/요약

It is very important that the fabrication of nano-materials and the device manufacturing for the resulted electrical properties of 1-dimensional nano-materials devices. It is also required that the study about their properties in detail in the changed stage of the dimension of semiconducting materials from 1-D to 3-D. In this paper, it was implemented that the growths of 1-D nanowires, 2-D film and the 3-D hierarchical structures and their physical and electrical characterization. It was suggested the newly designed T-PLD (thermal-assisted pulsed laser deposition) system and the fabricated materials analyses were proceed. Especially, it was invested that the impedance analysis of 3-dimensional hetero-junction structures for the detailed research about the junction properties. First of all, ZnO film was fabricated using PLD method. It was comparatively analyzed that the materials properties of ZnO films which were grown under the varied experimental growth conditions in PLD. The PLD system has been provided for the highly qualified ZnO film growth widely, so the films properties grown in PLD was investigated as changing the growth conditions systematically such as the gas pressure, laser conditions in my experiments. The interface properties between ZnO film and the sapphire substrate were investigated by using HR-XRD results. For the second, it was devised T-PLD system which has developed the existed PLD system. It was combined the advantages of the thermal energy in a furnace and the kinetic energy of the laser source which was evaluated as the major merit in PLD method. In this paper, ZnO nanowires were synthesized using T-PLD system and their materials properties were investigated in detail from the results of the low temperature PL analysis. The effect of the thermal energy on the growth of ZnO materials and the electrical properties of ZnO nanowire FETs were studied. Thirdly, it was comparatively investigated that the electrical properties of 1-dimensional and 3-dimensional nano-structures devices. By using T-PLD system, it was fabricated successfully the hetero-junction structures of the core-shell (p-Si NW/n-ZnO and SnO2 NWs/ZnO shell) structures or the hierarchical (SnO2 back-bone/ZnO branch) structures. The enhanced photo-current properties in 3-dimensional (SnO2-ZnO) structures were studied as suggesting the higher efficiency of electron-hole pair generation and the effect of water molecules. As the last thing, it was implemented DC/AC electrical analyses for the ZnO nanowire network devices. It was defined the device equivalent circuit model from the impedance analysis and the detailed characteristics of the devices under the UV irradiation to the active layer which could change the effects of elementary resistors or capacitors. In particular, it was investigated that the effects of the junction resistor or the junction capacitor in SnO2-ZnO network structures which is composed with 2-parrallel R-C equivalent circuits. It was mainly studied the effect of the materials junctions on the whole device electrical property in hetero-structured devices.
