摘要
Nitrogen-doped p-type ZnO (ZnO:N) films have been achieved by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis at atmosphere. The high structural quality of the obtained films was confirmed by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and photoluminescence spectra. Hall-effect and Seebeck-effect measurements indicate that the obtained p-type ZnO film shows a low resistivity of 3.02x10(-2) Omega cm, high carrier concentration of 8.59x10(18) cm(-3), high mobility of 24.1 cm(2)/V s, and high Seebeck coefficient of 408.2 muV/K at room temperature. Furthermore, the two-layer structured ZnO p-n homojunctions were prepared by depositing n-type ZnO layer on p-type ZnO:N layer. The current-voltage curve derived from the two-layer structure clearly shows the typical rectifying characteristic of p-n junctions. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
