摘要
Non-polar ZnO and Na-doped ZnO films were epitaxially grown on m-plane sapphire substrates by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. The films exhibit dominant () (m-plane) orientation as identified by the X-ray diffraction pattern. The quality of the obtained m-plane ZnO film is evidenced by X-ray diffraction rocking curves full width at half maximum of 1125 arcsec for the () reflection and 1427 arcsec for the () reflection, respectively. Hall-effect measurements show that the m-plane Na-doped ZnO film exhibits p-type conductivity with a hole concentration of 2.50 x 10(17) cm(-3), while the m-plane ZnO film exhibits compensatory conductivity. Na atoms substituting for Zn atoms are believed to be the origin of p-type conductivity. The Na-related acceptor level is deduced to be 120 meV by temperature-dependent photoluminescence, indicating the superiority of m-plane ZnO film in p-type doping compared with the polar ZnO film.
