摘要
p-Type non-polar ZnO films have been realized via doping of Na acceptor on r-plane sapphire substrates by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. The film is (11 (2) over bar0) oriented (a-plane) as identified by the X-ray diffraction pattern. Structural properties are anisotropic and surfaces of films show stripes running along the ZnO [0001] direction. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy confirmed that Na has been doped into ZnO films. The chemical states of Na were analyzed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Deep level emission is dominant in room-temperature photoluminescence, which is mainly due to oxygen vacancy. With an effective incorporation of Na, Na-doped non-polar ZnO film exhibits p-type conductivity with a hole concentration of 1.81 x 10(15) cm(-3), a Hall mobility of 0.402 cm(2) V-1 s(-1), and a resistivity of 8575 Omega cm, respectively. The origin of weak p-type behavior is most likely a certain amount of oxygen vacancies existed in the film, which partly compensates Na acceptor. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
