AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Among them, the main problems of doping with group V elements are: low acceptor solid solubility, deep acceptor energy level, poor repeatability and stability of p-type conduction
The ZnO thin films prepared by these two methods are all polycrystalline films, the crystal quality is relatively poor, and the background electron concentration is high, which seriously affects the p-type transition, p-type stability and repeatability of the ZnO thin film.
Considering that metal-organic chemical vapor deposition and molecular beam epitaxy are easy to obtain high-quality ZnO thin films, but metal-organic chemical vapor deposition needs to use high-purity organic sources. There is no high-purity Na organic source on the market, so this technology cannot grow Na-doped Molecular beam epitaxy is the first choice for preparing high-purity, high-performance epitaxial films, but this technology has not been used to grow Na-doped p-type ZnO films.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a growth method of p-type ZnO thin film, especially a method for Na-doped growth of p-type ZnO single crystal thin film. Background technique [0002] The preparation of n-type and p-type ZnO single crystal thin films with excellent properties is the key to realize the wide application of ZnO in the field of optoelectronics. At present, the research on n-type ZnO has been relatively sufficient. By doping Al, Ga, In and other donor elements, n-type ZnO single crystal thin films with excellent properties have been obtained. However, the p-type doping of ZnO has encountered many difficulties, mainly because the solid solubility of acceptor doping elements in ZnO is low, the acceptor energy level is generally deep, and ZnO itself has many intrinsic donor defects. (such as zinc interstitial Zn i and oxygen vacancies V O ), producing a highly self-compensating effect on the acceptor. How to obtain p-type ZnO single crystal thin f...
