摘要
It is possible to fabricate thin epitaxial ZnO layers doped in situ with In and Ga impurities by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) in a low-pressure system. Highly conductive and transparent ZnO:Me (0.1-2 wt.%) films are deposited on (1012) sapphire substrates. Electrical, optical, and structural properties of the films are investigated. The ZnO:Me thin epitaxial layers (TEL) features unique thermal stability of their electric properties to thermocyclings within the 300-950 K temperature range in various ambient. It is found that the crystal structure perfection must be among the main factors conditioning the thermal stability of the films. It is suggested a formation of metal cluster structures-whiskers over the doped film surface. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
