  2. Introduction • Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is a II-VI semiconductor material withthefollowingproperties: • A 3.37 eV direct band gap • Thin film resistivity in therange of 10-4-1013 -cm • Refractiveindex of 2.03 • High transparency in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum • Crystallizes in three different phases : • Hexagonal wurtzite. • Zincblende • Rocksalt

  3. Goals • Todeposit ZnO thin films using PLD techniquefortheir use as a buffer and anti-reflectivelayer in Glass/ITO/ZnO/CdSstructuresusingtwotypes of targets. For a buffer layerhighresistivities are required 102-103 -cm As an anti-reflectivelayer: Thickness of 80-150 nmforwavelenghts in a range of 650- 1200 nm

  4. Experimental Procedures Vacuum of 10-5Torr What’s PLD? Laser pulse Nd:YAG =1064 nm ~2 J/(cm2) per shot 5 Hz Number of shots: 3000 Substrateheating Ts = 300° C Target-substratedistance 50 mm

  5. Target (type A) • ZnO sinteredpowder, 99.99% • Area50.3 mm2 • Force = 10 Ton • T = 600° C (Heating) • Time = 2 hours

  6. Target (Type B) • CuredpowderZnO, 99.99% • Mixedwithcyanoacrylate (C5H5NO2) • Proportion of 70:30 in weight (70% ZnO, 30% cyanoacrylate) • Dried at room temperature for three days

  7. Resultsanddiscussions

  8. Thickness 80-150 nmforwavelenghts in a range of 650 a1200 nm

  9. MorphologicalProperties Type A Type B

  10. StructuralProperties • 36-1451 ICCD crystallographic letter associated with ZnO. • Hexagonal wurtzitestructure. • Preferential growth along the c-axis (002) • Displacements of diffraction peaks (002) to the left • FWHM (2) Type A

  11. StructuralProperties • 36-1451 ICCD crystallographic letter associated with ZnO. • Preferential growth along (100) and (101) planes • Hexagonal wurtzitestructure. • Displacements of diffraction peaks (002) to the right • FWHM (2) Type B

  12. StructuralesProperties • Nano-estructuredthin films • D fortype A suggests a quantum confinementeffect • A negative sign indicates that the unit cell of type A has a smaller volume than the standard unit cell • A positive sign indicates that the unit of type B has a greater volume than the standard unit cell Williamson Hall equation:

  14. OpticalProperties • Transmitance85% • Abortionedgeisn’tdefined UV VIS IR

  15. Band gap Values

  16. PhotocurrentCalculations Elimination of 7.52% of losses Maximumvalue of 25.72 mA/cm2

  17. ResitivityMeasures • Measuare at RT • ForCdS/CdTeSolar cells: 102 -103-cm

  18. Conclusions • ZnO thin films were obtained through PLD by using two types targets. • Eg for the films A and B were 4.08 and 3.32 eV respectively • Egsample for type A is the result of quantum confinement effects.

  19. Conclusions • The samples were suitable as anti-reflective coating, the presence of ZnO resulted in an increase of about 10% of transmittance in glass/ITO/ZnO/CdSstructures. • Photocurrent was obtained to be 19.04 and 19.09 mA/cm2 for samples A and B respectively, with a 7.52% elimination of photocurrent losses. • The type B film has the best results for an application as buffer layer and anti-reflective.
