摘要
Nitrogen-doped ZnO thin films with different nitrogen concentrations were fabricated by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. Hall effect measurements show p-type conduction for samples with low doping concentration. In highly doped ZnO, the p-type conduction converted to high resistance or unstable p-type behavior. This result indicates that highly doped samples are heavily compensated. In the low temperature photoluminescence spectrum, a donor-acceptor pair (DAP) emission band shows a strong redshift and broadening with increasing nitrogen doping concentration. The large shift of the DAP emission is explained by the Coulomb-potential fluctuation model related to compensated semiconductors. (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.
