P-Type Conduction of ZnO Thin Film by Codoping Technique

  • 1. Nano-Optoelectronics Research and Technology Laboratory School of Physics, Universiti Sains Malaysia, 11800 Minden, Penang (Malaysia)

Description

Aluminium and zinc target were co-sputtered on silicon (111) substrates using DC magnetron sputtering in the pure argon atmosphere. These films were then underwent the thermal annealing in different ratios of nitrogen and oxygen for 1 hour to form thin oxide films. P-type conduction in ZnO thin films have been realized by the Al-N codoping method, whereby the lowest resistivity of 3.41x10-3 Ω·cm and the highest carrier concentration of 1.54x1022 cm-3 was achieved for sample prepared at annealed temperature of 300 deg. C
