摘要
Deep levels in heavily aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin film were studied by transient capacitance (C-t) measurements and photoemission spectroscopy (PES). To study degenerated AZO by C-t measurements, AZO films were deposited on a p-type silicon (p-Si) substrate to form a depletion layer at the AZO/p-Si interface. Analyses of C-t behavior revealed that concentration of a trap level 0.3 eV below the bottom of the conduction was on the order of 10(19) cm(-3), which is 20%-50% of the shallow donor concentration. Such a high concentration of the trap level in AZO was evidenced by subsequent PES measurements. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi: 10.1063/1.3556440]
