N-doped ZnO thin films were deposited on n-type Si(100) and homo-buffer layer, and undoped ZnO thin film was also deposited on homo-buffer layer by RF magnetron sputtering method. After deposition, all films were in-situ annealed at $800^{\circ}C$ for 5 minutes in ambient of $O_2$ with pressure of 10Torr. X -ray diffraction shows that the homo-buffer layer is beneficial to the crystalline of N-doped ZnO thin films and all films have preferable c-axis orientation. Atomic force microscopy shows that undoped ZnO thin film grown on homo-buffer layer has an evident improvement of smoothness compared with N-dope ZnO thin films. Hall-effect measurements show that all ZnO films annealed at $800^{\circ}C$ possess p-type conductivities. The undoped ZnO film has the highest carrier concentration of $1.145{\times}10^{17}cm{-3}$. The photoluminescence spectra show the emissions related to FE, DAP and many defects such as $V_{Zn}$, $Zn_O$, $O_i$ and $O_{Zn}$. The p-type defects ($O_i$, $V_{Zn}$, and $O_{Zn}$) are dominant. The undoped ZnO thin film has a better p-type conductivity compared with N-doped ZnO thin film.

Fabrication of p-type ZnO has already proven difficult and usually inconsistent despite numerous worldwide efforts. Many research groups studied electrical and optical properties P, Li, As, N single doped ZnO thin film. In P-doped ZnO thin film, the reproducibility of p-type conduction with $P_2O_5$ as a dopant source was shown to be relatively poor. In this study, we made P single doped and Li & P co-doped ZnO target. To investigate electrical and optical properties of P single doped and Li & P co-doped ZnO thin film using $P_2O_5$ and $Li_3PO_4$ dopant source respectively was deposited by PLD. The growth temperature was changed 500, $700^{\circ}C$ and various oxygen partial pressure and post-annealing conditions was changed temperature, different gas ambient($O_2,N_2$). We investigate that how to change electrical and optical properties as function of growth temperature, oxygen partial pressure and post-annealing(RTA).

RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링 공정에 의해 Ga-doped ZnO 박막이 O2 및 Ar 분위기 하에서 증착 조건에 따라 합성되었으며, N2 분위기에서, 600℃에서 급속열처리(RTA)를 실시하였다. 증착된 ZnO : Ga 박막에 대해 두께를 측정하였고, XRD 패턴 분석에 의해 결정상을 조사하였으며, FE-SEM, AFM 이미지에 의해 박막의 미세구조를 관찰하였다. O2 및 Ar 분위기 기체 종류별로 형성된 박막들의 증착 조건에 따라 X-선 회절 패턴의 (002)면의 세기는 상당한 차이를 나타냈다. O2 조건에서는 Ga doping이 이루어진 단일 박막의 경우에서는 강한 세기의 회절피크가 관찰되었다. O2 및 Ar 조건에서는 Ga doping이 이루어진 다층박막의 경우에서는 다소 약한 세기의 (002) 면의 피크만을 나타내었다. FE-SEM image에서는 박막의 표면입자의 크기는 두께가 증가함에 따라 입자크기가 다소 증가하는 것으로 관찰되었다. O2 및 Ar 분위기 조건 하에서, Ga doping이 이루어진 다층박막의 경우에서는, 비저항은 6.4 × 10-4Ω·cm을 나타냈고, O2 분위기 조건하에서, Ga doping이 이루어진 단일 박막의 경우에서는 저항값이 감소하였고, Ga-doped ZnO 박막의 두께가 2 ㎛로 증가하면서 저항이 감소하였으며, 1.0 × 10-3 Ω·cm의 비교적 낮은 비저항 값을 나타내었다.

Highly concentrated p-type ZnO thin films can be obtained by doping of N, P and As elements. In this study, undoped ZnO buffer layers were prepared on a (0001) sapphire substrate by a ultra high vaccum pulsed laser deposition(UHV-PLD) method. ZnO buffer layers were deposited with various deposition temperature($400{\sim}700^{\circ}C$) at 350 mtorr of oxygen working pressure. Arsenic doped(1 wt%) ZnO thin films were deposited on the ZnO buffer layers by UHV-PLD. Crystallinity of the samples were evaluated by X-ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscopy. Optical, electrical properties of the ZnO thin films were estimated by photoluminescence(PL) and Hall measurements. The optimal condition of the undoped ZnO buffer layer for the deposition of As-doped ZnO thin films was at $600^{\circ}C$ of deposition temperature.

본 연구에서는 C-축 우선 배향 특성을 가지는 N-doped ZnO 박막을 증착하고 그 미세구조의 특성을 분석 비교하였다. ZnO박막은 $N_2O$ 가스 분위기에서 RF reactive magnetron sputtering 시스템을 사용하여 p-Si(100) 웨이퍼 위에 증착되었다. $N_2O$ 가스는 N doping source로 사용되었으며, 전체 가스 유량에 대한 $N_2O$ 가스의 비율 $N_2O/(N_2O+Ar)$과 증착 전력을 증착의 주요 공정 변수로 선택하여 다양한 가스 비율과 증착 전력에 대한 박막의 미세 구조 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 특히, Auger electron spectroscopy (AES)를 이용하여 ZnO 박막 내에 들어가 존재하는 불순물 N의 수직분포를 분석하였고, 여러 가지 증착 조건에서 제작된 ZnO 박막의 표면형상 및 미세구조 특성을 Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)를 이용하여 분석하였다.

A p-n junction was obtained by the deposition of an n-type ZnO thin film on a p-type Zn-doped InP substrate. The Zn-doped InP substrate has been made by the diffusion of Zn with sealed ampoule technique. The ZnO deposition process was performed by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The p-n junction was formed and showed a typical I-V characteristic. We will also discuss about the realization of an ultraviolet light-emitting diode (LED). The structure of n-ZnO/p-Zn-doped InP could be a good candidate for the realization of an ultraviolet light-emitting diode or an ultraviolet laser diode.

We have studied structural, optical, and electrical properties of the Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) thin films being usable in transparent conducting oxides. The GZO thin films were deposited on the corning 1737 glass plate by the RF magnetron sputtering system. To find optimal properties of GZO for transparent conducting oxides, the Ar gas in sputtering process was varied as 40, 60, 80 and 100 sccm, respectively. As reaction gas decreased, the crystallinity of GZO thin film was increased, the optical bandgap of GZO thin film increased. The transmittance of the film was over 80% in the visible light range regardless of the changes in reaction gas. The measurement of Hall effect characterizes the whole thin film as n-type, and the electrical property was improved with decreasing reaction gas. The structural, optical, and electrical properties of the GZO thin films were affected by Ga dopant content in GZO thin film.

We have studied structural, optical, and electrical properties of the Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films being usable in transparent conducting oxides. The AZO thin films were deposited on the corning 1737 glass plate by the RF magnetron sputtering system. To find optimal properties of AZO for transparent conducting oxides, the RF power in sputtering process was varied as 40 W, 60 W, and 80 W, respectively. As RF power increased, the crystallinity of AZO thin film was decreased, the optical bandgap of AZO thin film increased. The transmittance of the film was over 80% in the visible light range regardless of the changes in RF power. The measurement of Hall effect characterizes the whole thin film as n-type, and the electrical property was improved with increasing RF power. The structural, optical, and electrical properties of the AZO thin films were affected by Al dopant content in AZO thin film.

The realization and origin of p-type ZnO are main issue for photoelectronic devices based on ZnO material. N-doped and nominally undoped p-type ZnO films were achieved on silicon (100) and homo-buffer layers by RF magnetron sputtering and post in-situ annealing. The undoped film shows high hole mobility of 1201 $cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ and low resistivity of $0.0454\Omega{\cdot}cm$ with hole concentration of $1.145\times10^{17}cm^{-3}$. The photoluminescence(PL) spectra show the emissions related to FE, DAP and defects of $V_{Zn}$, $V_O$, $Zn_O$, $O_i$ and $O_{Zn}$.
