摘要
Depth-resolved cathodoluminescence spectroscopy, current-voltage, capacitance-voltage, and deep level transient spectroscopy of ZnO (0001) Zn-and (0001) O-polar surfaces and metal interfaces show systematically higher Zn-face near band edge emission and lower near-surface defect emission. Even with remote plasma decreases of the 2.5 eV near-surface defect emission, (0001)-Zn face emission quality still exceeds that of (0001)-O face. Ultrahigh vacuum-deposited Au and Pd diodes on as-received and O(2)/He plasma-cleaned surfaces display a strong polarity dependence that correlates with defect emissions, traps, and interface chemistry. A comprehensive model accounts for the polarity-dependent transport properties and their correlations with carrier concentration profiles. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
