摘要
Owing to the low doping concentration of nitrogen and strong compensation of intrinsic donors, the attainment of highly conductive p-type ZnO films remains one of the largest challenges for the application of ZnO. An approach has been proposed to increase the doping concentration of nitrogen in ZnO by exposing the ZnO:N films in the ambient of nitrogen plasma periodically in this paper. Hall measurements and photoluminescence spectroscopy indicate that this approach is effective in improving the hole concentration in ZnO films. Under the optimized conditions, a p-type ZnO film with a hole concentration of 1.68 x 10(18) cm(-3) has been achieved.
