Abstract

Effect of Al-N codoping ratio on the conducting and optical properties of ZnO films deposited by helicon wave plasma assisted radio frequency magnetron sputtering under various N₂ gas flow is investigated. Hall measurements show that p-type ZnO thin films have been achieved with proper N₂ flow rate. X-ray diffraction patterns indicate that all the films are highly c-axis oriented. Room temperature photoluminescence spectra show a strong near-band-edge emission. With increasing N doping, the intensity of the emission behaves an increased and then decreased trend while the full width at half maximum is narrowed and then widened. In addition, photoluminescence spectrum at 77 K in the p-type ZnO film with the highest hole concentration show a much stronger peak near 3.32 eV (due to N related neutral acceptor bound excitons), than at 3.36 eV (neutral donor bound excitons), and the acceptor energy level is estimated to be 186 meV.
