摘要
Terbium-doped Zinc oxide (ZnO:Tb) films were prepared by rf reactive magnetron sputtering using a Zn target with some Tb-chips attached. The structural, electrical, and optical properties of the films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Hall measurement and optical spectroscopy, respectively. The resistivity of 9.34 x 10(-4) Omega cm was obtained in ZnO: Tb films prepared on a Si substrate at a temperature of 250 degrees C with a Tb content of 4.1%. The transparent edges of the films showed blue-shifts with the average transmittance within the visible range being up to 85%. The results to date demonstrate that Tb-doped ZnO films are high-quality transparent conductive oxide materials. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
