摘要
High-electron-mobility ZnO epilayers were grown on c-plane sapphire with ZnO/MgO double-buffer layers by plasma-assisted, molecular beam epitaxy. Precisely controlled low growth rate of the double-buffer layers was crucial to the improvement of electrical properties. Both X-ray diffraction omega rocking curve measurement and calculated electron mobilities revealed that the improvement of electron mobility of ZnO films is due to a decrease in dislocation density. The highest electron mobility of 137 cm(2).V(-1)s(-1) in as-grown ZnO film was achieved at room temperature.
