摘要
The effects on the electrical properties of Si doping into Cu2O thin films deposited by reactive sputtering were studied. The hole density increased from 1x10(15) to 1x10(17) cm(-3) with increasing Si content and the minimum resistivity obtained was 12 Omega cm. It was suggested that the electrically active acceptor with an activation energy of 0.19 eV was generated by Si doping. Infrared absorption measurements indicated the formation of silicate in Si-doped Cu2O. The mechanism for Si acting as an acceptor in Cu2O is discussed and modeled based on the silicate formation in Cu2O. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.
