Abstract
Infrared dielectric function spectra and phonon modes of high-quality, single crystalline, and highly resistive wurtzite ZnO films were obtained from infrared (300–1200 cm−1) spectroscopic ellipsometry and Raman scattering studies. The ZnO films were deposited by pulsed-laser deposition on c-plane sapphire substrates and investigated by high-resolution x-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and Rutherford backscattering experiments. The crystal structure, phonon modes, and dielectric functions are compared to those obtained from a single-crystal ZnO bulk sample. The film ZnO phonon mode frequencies are highly consistent with those of the bulk material. A small redshift of the longitudinal optical phonon mode frequencies of the ZnO films with respect to the bulk material is observed. This is tentatively assigned to the existence of vacancy point defects within the films. Accurate long-wavelength dielectric constant limits of ZnO are obtained from the infrared ellipsometry analysis and compared with previously measured near-band-gap index-of-refraction data using the Lyddane–Sachs–Teller relation. The ZnO model dielectric function spectra will become useful for future infrared ellipsometry analysis of free-carrier parameters in complex ZnO-based heterostructures.
