Abstract
We report on carrier type in phosphorus-doped (Zn,Mg)O films grown by pulsed-laser deposition under a broad range of conditions. For film growth at 500 °C, increasing the oxygen partial pressure from 20 to 200 mTorr yielded a carrier type conversion from n to p type. Transport characteristics of as-grown P-doped (Zn,Mg)O films were determined by Hall-effect measurements at room temperature. The P-doped (Zn,Mg)O films grown at 150 mTorr oxygen partial pressure were marginally p type and exhibited a hole concentration of 2.7× 1016 cm-3, a mobility of 8.2 cm2 V s, and a resistivity of 35 Ω cm. The films exhibited good crystallinity with c -axis orientation. These results indicate the importance of oxidation conditions in realizing p -type (Zn,Mg)O films.
