Zn diffusions in InP have been studied by electrochemical capacitance voltage. The InP layer was grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition, and $Zn_3P_2$ thin film was deposited on the epitaxial substrates. The samples annealed in a rapid thermal annealing. It is demonstrated that surface hole concentration as high as $1\times10^{19}\textrm{cm}^{-3}$ can be achieved. When the Zn diffusion was carried at $550^{\circ}C$ and 5-20 min., the diffusion depth of hole concentration moves from 1.51$\mu\textrm{m}$ to 3.23 $\mu\textrm{m}$, and the diffusion coeffcient of Zn is $5.4\times10^{-11}\textrm{cm}^2$/sec. After activation, the concentration is two orders higher than that of untreated sample at 0.30 $\mu\textrm{m}$ depth. As the annealing time is increase, the hole concentration remains almost constant, except deep depth. It means that excess Zn interstitials exist in the doped region is rapidly diffusion into the undoped region and convert into substitutional When the thickness of $SiO_2$ thin film is above 1,000$\AA$, the hole concentration becomes stable distribution.

The most Important research topic in the development of ZnO LED and LD is the production of p-type ZnO thin film that has minimal stress with outstanding stoichiometric ratio. In this study, Phosphorus diffused into the undoped ZnO thin films using the ampoule-tube method for the production of p-type znO thin films. The undoped ZnO thin films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering system on $GaAs_{0.6}P_{0.4}$/GaP and Si wafers. 4N Phosphorus (P) was diffused into the undoped ZnO thin films in ampoule-tube which was performed and $630^{\circ}C$ during 3hr. We found the diffusion condition of the conductive ZnO films which had p-type properties with the highest mobility of above 532 $cm^2$/Vs compared with other studies PL spectra measured at 10K for the purpose of analyzing optical properties of p-type ZnO thin film showed strong PL intensity in the UV emission band around 365nm ~ 415nm and 365nm ~ 385nm.

This experiment was designed to evaluate the effects of source of supplemental zinc (Zn) on performance, nutrient digestibility and plasma mineral profile in Cashmere goats during the cashmere fiber growing period. Twenty-seven Liao Ning Cashmere wether goats (9-10 month of age; initial BW = 19.31${\pm}$0.32 kg) were fed a basal diet (containing 22.3 mg Zn/kg DM) with no supplemental Zn (control) or 20 mg of supplemental Zn/kg of DM from Zn sulfate ($ZnSO_{4}$) or Zn methionine (ZnMet) for 60 days including a 10-day metabolism trial. Average daily gain (ADG) (p<0.05) and gain:feed (G/F) (p<0.05) were increased by Zn supplementation, but no differences were noted between Zn sources (p>0.05). The length and diameter of cashmere fiber did not differ among treatments (p>0.05). Zn supplementation had no influence on digestibility of DM, CP, EE and NDF (p>0.05). However, ADF digestibility in the group supplemented with ZnMet was significantly higher than in other treatments (p<0.05). Plasma Zn was increased (p<0.05) and Cu tended to be decreased (p = 0.057) by Zn supplementation, but no differences were found between Zn sources (p>0.05). Plasma alkaline phosphatase activity (AKP) was improved by Zn supplementation (p<0.05) and was higher in the $ZnSO_{4}$ than the ZnMet group (p<0.05). Zn retention was increased (p<0.05) and apparent absorption rate was decreased (p<0.05) by Zn supplementation. The results indicate that supplementation of 20 mg Zn/kg DM either as $ZnSO_{4}$ or ZnMet in the basal diet containing 22.3 mg Zn/kg DM can improve growth performance in Cashmere goats, and effectiveness of the two sources is similar on performance measurements.

Using a ceramic target ZnO:In with In doping concentration of 2%, hetero-junctions of n-ZnO:In/p-Si and p-ZnO:(In, N)/n-Si were fabricated by depositing Indium doped n - type ZnO (ZnO:In or IZO) and Indium-nitrogen co-doped p - type ZnO (ZnO:(In, N)) films on wafers of p-Si (100) and n-Si (100) by DC magnetron sputtering, respectively. These films with the best electrical and optical properties were then obtained. The micro-structural, optical and electrical properties of the n-type and p-type semiconductor thinfilms were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), RBS, UV-vis; four-point probe resistance and room-temperature Hall effect measurements, respectively. Typical rectifying behaviors of p-n junction were observed by the current-voltage (I-V) measurement. It shows fairly good rectifying behavior with the fact that the ideality factor and the saturation current of diode are n=11.5, Is=1.5108.10-7 (A) for n-ZnO:In/p-Si hetero-jucntion; n=10.14, Is=3.2689.10-5 (A) for p-ZnO:(In, N)/n-Si, respectively. These results demonstrated the formation of a diode between n-type thin film and p-Si, as well as between p-type thin film and n-Si..

ZnO-$P_2O_5$ system glasses containing 45 to 60 mol% ZnO have been melted at$1200^{\circ}C$and crystallized through controlled heat treatment. The properties of the base glass and crystallized glass were examined with XRD. FTIR. density. thermal expansion, electric conductivity, hardness. The principal crystalline phase was identified as zinc metaphosphate [$Zn(PO_3)_2$ in crystallized glasses containing 45-55mol% ZnO and zinc pyrophosphate ($Zn_2P_2O_7$) in the sample of 60mol% ZnO with X - ray diffraction analysis. Thermal expansion coefficient and DC electrical conductivity were varied with direction of oriented crystalline in the samples containing 50-60mol% ZnO. This suggests the existance of the oriented crystalline.

ZnSe/$Zn_3P_2$ heterojunctions with a substrate configuration were fabricated using a series of cost-effective processes. Thin films of ZnTe and $Zn_3P_2$ were successively grown by close-spaced sublimation onto Mo-coated glass substrates. ZnSe layers thinner than 100nm were formed by annealing the $Zn_3P_2$ films in selenium vapor. Surface selenization generated a high density of micro-cracks which, along with voids, provided shunt paths and severely deteriorated the diode characteristics. Annealing the $Zn_3P_2$ film at $300^{\circ}C$ in a $ZnCl_2$ atmosphere before surface selenization produced a dense microstructure and prevented micro-crack generation. The mechanism of micro-crack generation by the selenization was described and the suppression effect of $ZnCl_2$ treatment on the micro-crack generation was explained. ZnSe/$Zn_3P_2$ heterojunctions with low leakage current ($J_0$ < $1{\mu}A/cm^2$) were obtained using an optimized surface selenization process with $ZnCl_2$ treatment. However, the series resistance was very high due to the presence of an electrical barrier between the ZnTe and $Zn_3P_2$ layers.

ZnO thin films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering and then diffused by using an As source in the ampouletube. Also, the ZnO p-n homojunction was made by using As-doped ZnO thin films, and its properties were analyzed. After the As doping, the surface roughness increased, the crystal quality deteriorated, and the full width at half maximum was increased. The As-doped ZnO thin films showed typical p-type properties, and their resistivity was as low as $2.19{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm$, probably because of the in-diffusion from an external As source and out-diffusion from the GaAs substrate. Also, the ZnO p-n junction displayed the typical rectification properties of a p-n junction. Therefore, the As diffusion method is effective for obtaining ZnO films with p-type properties.

Electrical properties of Pd/Zn/Pd/Au contacts to p-InP were investigated as function of the V/III ratio of p-InP. P-type InP was made by the Zn diffusion into InP and activation process with rapid thermal annealing (RTA) measurement. After activation, the hole concentration was two orders of magnitude higher than that of the sample having only diffusion process. According to transmission line method (TLM) results, the specific contact resistance of p-InP was lower as used InP having the lower V/III ratio. The experimental results represent that the diffusion of Zn in undoped InP deeply related to the equilibrium between interstitials and substitutional Zn is established via indium interstitials.
