The effect of magnetron sputtering process on the photoelectric properties of Zr-doped hafnium oxide thin films
摘要
Hafnium–zirconium oxide (HZO) ferroelectric films are emerging as transformative materials for high-performance optoelectronics due to their wide bandgap and exceptional surface quality. Here, Zr-doped HfO2 ferroelectric (HZO) films were prepared using radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. The surface structure, composition, optical and electrical properties of the films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The properties of HZO films were controlled by adjusting process parameters, such as annealing temperature, annealing time, deposition time and power. The optimized films exhibit a dense anddefect-free microstructure, it also delivered pure composition, an ultrawide bandgap of approximately 5.3 eV, and atomically smooth surfaces (
