X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) Analysis of Undoped ZnO and ZnO:Er

ABSTRACT: Undoped  ZnO  and  ZnO:Er    thin  films  were  deposited  on  p-type  Si  substrates  by  ultrasonic  spray pyrolisis  (USP).  Undoped  and  ZnO:Er  thin  films  have  been  analyzed  by  using  X-ray  Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The results show that the XPS spectrum has two Er peak at ∼157 eV and ∼168 eV. The XPS Zn 2p spectrum of undoped ZnO and ZnO:Er thin films have binding energy for Zn 2p3/2 (~ 1021 eV) and Zn 2p1/2  (~1045eV) were found no shift in binding energy after the incorporation of Er. Meanwhile, after Er incorporates into ZnO, the O 1s spectrum is composed two peak of binding energy (BE) at ~530.5eV and the shoulder about 532.5 eV.
