摘要
ZnO epitaxial films grown by pulsed laser deposition in an ambient of H-2 or D-2 exhibit qualitatively different electronic properties compared to films grown in vacuum or O-2 or bulk single crystals annealed in H-2. These include temperature-independent resistivities of similar to 0.1 Omega cm, carrier (electron) concentrations in the 10(18) cm(-3) range, mobilities of 20-40 cm(2)/V s, and negligible (a few meV) activation energies for conduction. These transport properties are consistent with H (D) forming an ultrashallow donor or conduction band states not achievable by postgrowth annealing in H-2. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
