摘要
Arsenic doped ZnO and ZnMgO films were deposited on SiO(2) using radio frequency magnetron sputtering and ZnO-Zn(3)As(2) and ZnO-Zn(3)As(2)-MgO targets, respectively. It was found that thermal activation is required to activate the formation of p-type conductivity. Hall measurements showed that p-type films with a hole concentration of similar to 10(17) cm(-3) and mobility of similar to 8 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) were obtained at substrate temperatures of 400-500 degrees C. The shallow acceptor formation mechanism was investigated using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, positron annihilation, low temperature photoluminescence, and nuclear reaction analysis. The authors suggest that the thermal annealing activates the formation of the As(Zn)-2V(Zn) shallow acceptor complex and removes the compensating hydrogen center. (C) 2011 American Vacuum Society.
