Abstract
A Li-doped ZnO (Zn1−xLixO1−δ, x = 0.12) thin film was fabricated on a Pt(111)/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) substrate by using a chemical solution deposition method. The formation of a wurtzite hexagonal structure was confirmed by an X-ray diffraction and a Raman spectroscopic analysis. Typical hexagonal microcrystalline grains were observed from the surface morphological studies. Room-temperature ferroelectricity with a remnant polarization (2Pr) of 0.05 μC/cm2 and a coercive field (2Ec) of 170 kV/cm at an applied electric field of 200 kV/cm was observed in the Li-doped ZnO thin film. The measured leakage current density for the thin film was 1.09 × 10 −4 A/cm2 at an applied electric field of 100 kV/cm. A sharp near-band-edge emission was observed in the photoluminescence spectrum at a wavelength of 375 nm for the thin film.
