Description

Mn, Fe and Mn-Fe doped ZnO thin films were deposited on Si (100) substrates by rf- magnetron sputtering using ceramic target in pure oxygen gas environment. The X-ray diffraction shows the polycrystalline wurtzite structure films. The average grain size varies from 32-50 nm, with lower grain size for Fe doped ZnO films. The room temperature loading and unloading curve are continuous without any pop-in. The Young's modulus and hardness are in the range 156-178 GPa and 14-15.5 GPa respectively
