Al doped ZnO thin films for gas sensor application

I.G. Dimitrov; Anna. Og. Dikovska; P.A. Atanasov; T.R. Stoyanchov; T Vasilev

Highly textured pure and Al doped ZnO thin films have been produced by pulsed laser deposition for optical gas sensor application. The influence of the processing parameters such as substrate temperature and oxygen pressure applied during depositions, and dopant concentration on the structural, morphological, and optical properties of the films were investigated. All deposited films are textured along the (002) direction. The substrate temperature and the oxygen pressure have stronger influence on the film crystallinity compared to the presence of the dopants. The grain size of the films prepared from 2 wt% Al2O3 doped ZnO target is approximately the same as the one produced from pure ZnO tagret. The increase in the dopant concentration into the ZnO target (to 5 wt% Al2O3) leads to an increase of the in-plane grain size of the as-deposited films which is well known to increase the gas sensitivity. At the same time, the use of doped targets increase the droplets on the film surface which deteriorates the optical detection of the gas sensing effect. The increase of the dopant concentration reduces the film transmission in the visible range and the transmission cut-off edge is shifted to the shorter wavelengths. The films deposited from 2 wt% Al2O3 doped ZnO target at oxygen pressure of 0.05 mbar and 300°C substrate temperature have good mode properties which makes them good candidates for optical sensors.

A simple sensor element consisting of a side-polished single-mode fiber and a planar metal oxide waveguide is described. The thin ZnO planar waveguide was produced on the polished fiber surface by pulsed laser deposition at optimized processing parameters. A measurement scheme for in situ control of the film thickness during the deposition process was developed and used. X-ray diffraction measurements and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the structure and the surface morphology of the planar waveguide, respectively. The numerical evaluation of the sensor sensitivity predicts the possibility to detect refractive index changes of less than 10(-4). Furthermore, preliminary gas sensor tests were performed by using a mixture of 1.5% butane diluted in N(2) and pure butane. A shift of the spectral position of the resonance points was observed from 3 to 5 s after gas exposure, which corresponds to refractive index changes of 3 x 10(-5) and 1.2 x 10(-3) for 1.5% butane and for pure butane, respectively.

The medical-grade polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomer is a widely used biomaterial in medicine and for preparation of high-tech devices because of its remarkable properties. In this work, we present the experimental results on drilling holes on the PDMS surface by using ultraviolet, visible or near-infrared ns-laser pulses and on studying the changes of the chemical composition and structure inside the processed areas. The material in the zone of the holes is studied by XRD, ?-Raman analyses and 3D laser microscopy in order to obtain information on the influence of different processing laser parameters, as wavelength, fluence and number of consecutive pulses on the material transformation and its modification.

In this work, ZnO nanostructures were fabricated on metal (a metal alloy containing Fe, Cr, Mn and Ni) coated silicon substrates by applying pulsed laser deposition. The samples were prepared at substrate temperatures in the range of 550 – 650 °C, oxygen pressure of 5 Pa, and laser fluence ≤ 1 J cm−2 i.e., process parameters usually used for thin-film deposition. We found that the metal layers role is substantial in the preparation of nanostructures, the morphology of the catalyst layer determines the growth of the ZnO nanowalls and the increase of the process temperature leads to nanorods formation on the nanowalls.
