Abstract

ZnO:N thin films with reduced bandgaps were synthesized by doping N in ZnO at 100°C followed by postdeposition annealing at 500°C in air for 2 h. All the films were synthesized by rf magnetron sputtering on F-doped tin oxide-coated glass. It is found that N doped ZnO :N thin films exhibited significantly enhanced crystallinity compared to ZnO at the same growth conditions. Furthermore, ZnO:N thin films showed enhanced N incorporation and shift the optical absorption into the visible light regions. As a result, ZnO:N films showed improved PEC response, compared to ZnO thin films.
