The authors report the successful use of di-{pi}-cyclopentadienyl manganese [(C{sub 5}H{sub 5}){sub 2}Mn] as a manganese dopant for ZnS films, fabricated by low-pressure metallorganic chemical vapor deposition onto an indium-tin oxide coated glass substrate. The substrate temperature was 225 C. The concentration of manganese in the films was studied as a function of a (C{sub 5}H{sub 5}){sub 2}Mn bubbler temperature. The crystallinity and morphology of the films were examined by X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy. The grain size was 43 nm, as evaluated by the Debye-Scherrer relation. ZnS:Mn ac thin film electroluminescent devices with a double insulating layer structure were prepared. The luminance exceeded 1,500 cd/m{sup 2}, which is higher than the previously reported value of 680 cd/m{sup 2}, employing the same Mn source.
