摘要
The electrical properties of ZnO thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition were studied. Field-effect devices with a mobility reaching 1 cm(2)/V s show non-linearities both in the current-voltage and in the transfer characteristics which are explained as due to the presence of trap states. These traps cause a reversible threshold voltage shift as revealed by low-frequency capacitance-voltage measurements in metal insulator semiconductor (MIS) capacitors. Thermal detrapping experiments in heterojunctions confirm the presence of a trap state located at 0.32 eV. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
