Copper (Cu)-doped ZnO (CZO) films were grown by simultaneous direct current and radio frequency magnetron sputtering technique under the situation of different gas flow rates of Ar: O2 (1:1, 2:1 and 1:0). The X-ray diffraction patterns revealed the naturally polycrystalline ZnO films with the predominant reflection (002) peak, which referred to the hexagonal wurtzite structure toward c-axis. The elemental composition of thin films was analyzed by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The Cu concentrations in thin films increased with Ar ratio of up to 1:0. The EDS spectra of three kinds of elements indicate that Cu-doping has obvious and sophisticated effect on the chemical state of oxygen, but less effect on those of copper and zinc. Furthermore, the nonlinear absorption of CZO films was investigated by the way of Z-scan technique. These films demonstrated good nonlinear absorption behavior for the different gas flow rates of Ar: O2.

Abstract. The carbon monoxide (CO) gas sensing properties of low-resistance heavily Ga-doped ZnO thin films were evaluated. The ZnO films with a thickness of 50 nm were deposited at 200 °C by ion plating. The electrical properties of the ZnO films were controlled by varying the oxygen assist gas flow rate during deposition. The CO gas sensitivity of ZnO films with Au electrodes was investigated in nitrogen gas at a temperature of 230 to 330 °C. CO gas concentration was varied in the range of 0.6–2.4% in nitrogen gas. Upon exposure to CO gas, the current flowing through the film was found to decrease. This response occurred even at the lowest temperature of 230 °C, and is thought to be the result of a mechanism different than the previously reported chemical reaction.
