Abstract

Gallium selenide (GaSe) thin films on sapphire (001) were first prepared by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), where high-purity elemental Ga and Se were used as starting materials. The nonequilibrium low-temperature RF discharge plasma (40.68 MHz) at reduced pressure (0.1 Torr) served to initiate chemical transformations. Gradual increase of the plasma discharge power while keeping other process parameters unchanged leads to an insignificant increase of gallium concentration in GaSe films. This results in a decrease in surface roughness and an increase in the value of the optical band gap of the films from 1.65 to 2.10 eV. All films consist of the δ-GaSe phase with average lattice parameters a = 3.77 Å and c = 32.10 Å. There is a tendency to form a texture oriented along the c axis with increasing plasma power. Conductivity of gallium selenide films showed an activation mechanism of charge transport. For the films deposited at 30, 50 and 70 W, the activation energies were about 0.5, 0.1 and 0.04 eV, respectively. The luminescent properties of GaSe thin films were also investigated.

PECVD 法制备的 GaSe 薄膜的光学和电学特性

蓝宝石（001）上的硒化镓（GaSe）薄膜首先是通过等离子体增强化学气相沉积（PECVD）制备的，起始材料是高纯度元素镓和硒。非平衡低温射频放电等离子体（40.68 MHz）在减压（0.1 托）条件下启动化学转化。在保持其他工艺参数不变的情况下，等离子体放电功率逐渐增加，导致镓在硒化镓薄膜中的浓度显著增加。这导致表面粗糙度降低，薄膜的光带隙值从 1.65 eV 增加到 2.10 eV。所有薄膜都由平均晶格参数 a = 3.77 Å 和 c = 32.10 Å 的 δ-GaSe 相组成。硒化镓薄膜的电导率显示了电荷传输的活化机制。在 30、50 和 70 W 下沉积的薄膜，活化能分别约为 0.5、0.1 和 0.04 eV。此外，还研究了硒化镓薄膜的发光特性。
