ZnO films were deposited on Si (100) substrate by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis at atmosphere. The film grown at optimum conditions is well crystallized with uniform, smooth and dense microstructure. Photoluminescence measurement shows a strong near band edge UV emission at 379nm and an almost undetectable deep-level emission band centered at 502nm. The resistivity of ZnO film is reduced by an order after N-In codoping, which produces p-type conduction with high hole concentration and hall mobility.

ABSTRACTWe report on the fabrication of p-ZnO films by thermal oxidation of Zn3N2 deposited by reactive rf sputtering. With additional chromium doping we achieved p-type conductivity with the hole concentration ∼5×1017cm−3 and the mobility of 23.6 cm2/Vs at room temperature. We developed a method of surface passivation of p-ZnO that maintains its p-type conductivity over time-scale of months.

AbstractThe results of studying semiconductor structures proposed for the first time and grown, which combine the properties of LT-GaAs with p -type conductivity upon doping with Si, are presented. The structures are {LT-GaAs/GaAs:Si} superlattices, in which the LT-GaAs layers are grown at a low temperature (in the range 280–350°C) and the GaAs:Si layers at a higher temperature (470°C). The p -type conductivity upon doping with Si is provided by the use of GaAs(111)A substrates and the choice of the growth temperature and the ratio between As_4 and Ga fluxes. The hole concentration steadily decreases, as the growth temperature of LT-GaAs layers is lowered from 350 to 280°C, which is attributed to an increase in the roughness of interfaces between layers and to the formation of regions depleted of charge carriers at the interfaces between the GaAs:Si and LT-GaAS layers. The evolution of the photoluminescence spectra at 77 K under variations in the growth temperature of LT-GaAs is interpreted as a result of changes in the concentration of Ga_As and V _Ga point defects and Si_Ga– V _Ga, V _As–Si_As, and Si_As–Si_Ga complexes.

The fundamental growth issues of AlN and AlGaN on sapphire and SiC using metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy, particularly the growth of AlN and AlGaN on a groove-patterned template are reviewed. In addition, the conductivity control of AlGaN is shown. The conductivity control of p-type AlGaN, particularly the realization of a high hole concentration, is essential for realizing high-efficiency UV and DUV LEDs and LDs.

AbstractInGaN alloys are widely researched in diverse optoelectronic applications. This material has also been demonstrated as a photovoltaic material. This paper presents the study to achieve optimum electrically active p-type InGaN epi-layers. Mg doped InGaN films with 20% In composition are grown on GaN templates/sapphire substrates by MOCVD. It is found that the hole concentration of p-type InGaN depends strongly on the Mg flow rate and V/III molar ratio and hole concentration greater than 2×1019 cm−3 has been achieved at room temperature. The optimum activation temperature of Mg-doped InGaN layer has been found to be 550-600°C, which is lower than that of Mg-doped GaN. A solar cell was realized successfully using the InGaN epi-layers presented here.

It is known that p-type GeTe-based materials show excellent thermoelectric performance due to the favorable electronic band structure. However, n-type doping in GeTe is of challenge owing to the native Ge vacancies and high hole concentration of about 1021 cm−3. In the present work, the formation energy of cation vacancies of GeTe is increased through alloying PbSe, and further Bi-doping enables the change of carrier conduction from p-type to n-type. As a result, the n-type thermoelectric performance is obtained in GeTe-based materials. A peak zT of 0.34 at 525 K is obtained for (Ge0.6Pb0.4)0.88Bi0.12Te0.6Se0.4. These results highlight the realization of n-type doping in GeTe and pave the way for further optimization of the thermoelectric performance of n-type GeTe.

Nitrogen-doped lithium niobate (LiNbO3:N) thin films were successfully fabricated on a Si-substrate using a nitrogen plasma beam supplied through a radio-frequency plasma apparatus as a dopant source via a pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The films were then characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) as polycrystalline with the predominant orientations of (012) and (104). The perfect surface appearance of the film was investigated by atomic force microscopy and Hall-effect measurements revealed a rare p-type conductivity in the LiNbO3:N thin film. The hole concentration was 7.31 × 1015 cm−3 with a field-effect mobility of 266 cm2V−1s−1. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) indicated that the atom content of nitrogen was 0.87%; N atoms were probably substituted for O sites, which contributed to the p-type conductivity. The realization of p-type LiNbO3:N thin films grown on the Si substrate lead to improvements in the manufacturing of novel optoelectronic devices.
