Contact Properties of ZnO/Cu Films with MSM Structure
Considering the good conductivity and anti-electromigration and low price
Cu films were prepared as electrodes of ZnO-based devices via pulsed laser deposition method on Si(111) substrates. The XRD and SEM images of ZnO/Cu films were examined and the current-voltage characteristics were measured. The results exhibit that ZnO films are highly
c
-axis oriented
and Cu films are highly (111) oriented. Ohmic contact can be obtained when the ZnO:Cu layer was involved between the ZnO film and the Cu film
and the Ohmic contact properties can be improved after annealing. Study on how to improve the properties of Ohmic contact of the ZnO/Cu films is still continued. The results indicate that Cu may be used as Ohmic contact electrodes for ZnO-based devices.
