摘要
We have demonstrated the possibility of growing p-type ZnO films by a pulsed laser deposition technique combined with plasma gas source. The p-type ZnO film has been fabricated by passing N2O gas through an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) or RF plasma source. N-O gas is effective to prevent "O" vacancy from occurring and introduce "N" as an acceptor, at the same time. With Ca and N codoping technique, we have observed a room temperature resistivity of 0.5 Omega cm and a carrier concentration of 5 x 10(19)cm (3) in ZnO film on glass substrate. Two-step growth, with a thin ZnO template layer formed at high temperature, is quite effective to realize a well crystallized growth at low temperature. The observed p-type ZnO films will open the door for practical applications in various oxide electronic devices. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
