摘要
Phosphorus-doped ZnO films were grown by pulsed laser deposition using a ZnO:P2O5-doped target as the phosphorus source with the aim of producing p-type ZnO material. ZnO:P layers (with phosphorus concentrations of between 0.01 to 1 wt%) were grown on a pure ZnO buffer layer. The electrical properties of the films were characterised from temperature dependent Hall-effect measurements. The samples typically showed weak n-type conduction in the dark, with a resistivity of 70 Omega cm, a Hall mobility of mu(n) similar to 0.5 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) and a carrier concentration of n similar to 3 x 10(17) cm(-3) at room temperature. After exposure to an incandescent light source, the samples underwent a change in conduction from n- to p-type, with an increase in mobility and decrease in concentration for temperatures below 300 K.
