摘要
Phosphorus ions were implanted in ZnO single crystals with energies of 50-380 keV having total doses of 4.2x10(13)-4.2x10(15) cm(-2). Positron annihilation measurements reveal the introduction of vacancy clusters after implantation. These vacancy clusters grow to a larger size after annealing at a temperature of 600 degreesC. Upon further annealing up to a temperature of 1100 degreesC, the vacancy clusters gradually disappear. Raman-scattering measurements reveal the enhancement of the phonon mode at approximately 575 cm(-1) after P+ implantation, which is induced by the production of oxygen vacancies (V-O). These oxygen vacancies are annealed out up to a temperature of 700 degreesC accompanying the agglomeration of vacancy clusters. The light emissions of ZnO are suppressed after implantation. This is due to the competing nonradiative recombination centers introduced by implantation. The recovery of the light emission occurs at temperatures above 600 degreesC. The vacancy-type defects detected by positrons might be part of the nonradiative recombination centers. The Hall measurement indicates an n-type conductivity for the P+-implanted ZnO layer, suggesting that phosphorus is an amphoteric dopant. (C) 2005 American Institute of Physics.
