摘要
P-type nitrogen-doped zinc oxide (NZO) thin film was prepared on a glass substrate by reactive magnetron sputtering using zinc metal target and O-2/N-2 atmosphere. The structural, electrical and optical properties of the NZO films were investigated by X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, Hall-effect, and Raman scattering measurements. The electrical properties of the optimized p-type NZO films showed a resistivity of 13.1 Omega-cm and an n-p-n transition of conduction mode with increasing nitrogen flow rate was observed. This transition can be ascribed to the two types of defects, N-O, N substitutes for an O site, and (N-2)(O), N-2 substitutes for an O site, due to nitrogen doping as verified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. This sputtering process was reproducible and effective in producing p-type NZO films, and the produced p-type NZO was stable in a period of 259 days after deposition.
