This project has been focused on electrical, optical and structural properties of Al doped ZnO thin film. The effects of Al doping concentration at 0∼5 at.% on the Al doped ZnO thin film properties have been investigated. This project involves 3 processes which are thin film preparation, deposition and characterization. The thin films were characterized using Current-Voltage (I–V) measurement and UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer for electrical properties and optical properties respectively. The surface morphology has been characterized using field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The I-V measurement result indicated electrical properties of Al doped ZnO thin film improved with Al doping. The absorption coefficient spectra obtained from UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer measurement show all films have low absorbance in visible and near infrared (IR) region but have high UV absorption properties. The FESEM investigations shows that the nanoparticles size become smaller and denser as the doping concentration increase.","PeriodicalId":6354,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Enabling Science and Nanotechnology (ESciNano)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85802502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the present research work n-CdTe/p-ZnTe heterojunction diodes were prepared by high vacuum deposition technique. The growth conditions required for obtaining desired quality n-CdTe and p-ZnTe films were optimized by performing a series of trials. The n-CdTe/p-ZnTe heterojunctions were prepared by fist depositing CdTe film on glass substrate and then depositing ZnTe flim on top of CdTe. Detailed electrical characterization of the heterojunction was performed. The conduction in the heterojunction was predominantly due to thermionic emission at low voltages. However at higher voltages space charge limited conduction was found to be dominant. Many technically important parameters such as barrier height, width of the depletion region, carrier concentration etc were deduced by studying the I–V and C-V characteristics of the heterojunction. The activation energies of ZnTe and CdTe were determined by studying the variation of resistance with ambient temperature and a theoretical band diagram of the heterojunction was drawn using Anderson's model.","PeriodicalId":6354,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Enabling Science and Nanotechnology (ESciNano)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83474560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed distributed low noise amplifier has an appropriate input and output matching over the full band of 3.1–10.6 GHz. We achieve acceptable results for low noise amplifier as a flat power gain of 12dB (S21) from 3.1 to 10.6GHz, which is ripple only ±0.3 dB over the full UWB band.

It has receives a lot of attention due to its wide band gap (3.37 eV), high exciton binding energy (60 meV at room temperature), transparent conductivity, bio-compatibility and bio-safety enabling ZnO to be employed as an optoelectronic device, gas sensor, catalyst, solar cell [1] and biomaterial.
