Extract

Whereas efficient red (ZnS:Mn) and green (ZnS:Tb) phosphors are available for full-color flat-panel display technology, efficient blue phosphors are still under development. SrS:Ce is being investigated as a suitable material. As part of a larger study, annealed SrS:Ce films produced from sputter targets incorporating Ga2S3 were found to be five times brighter than films produced from targets containing no Ga2S3. Consequently, the significance of added gallium sulfide to the morphology of SrS:Ce films during annealing is being investigated.

Following deposition, plan view specimens of films were prepared for transmission electron microscopy by mechanical grinding, dimpling, and Ar+ milling. Films were examined in a Philips CM 12, and a JEOL 200CX. Additionally, EDS line scans were obtained in the scanning-transmission mode of a Philips CM200FEG, integrated with an EMiSPEC Vision acquisition system. The EDS line scans were defined as a series of 40 points along a line, spaced approximately 3.6 nm apart.
