Abstract
We report on the growth of nominally undoped p -type ZnO films on Si(111) substrates by pulsed-laser deposition. Hall effect measurements show that the undoped ZnO films change from n -type to p -type material when the oxygen pressure changes from 6× 10-5 to 3× 10-4 Torr during growth. TiAu contacts produce ohmic behavior to n -type ZnO (∼ 1017 cm-3), but leaky Schottky behavior to p -type ZnO (∼ 1018 cm-3). Electrical and photoluminescence results indicate that native defects, such as oxygen and zinc vacancies, could play an important role in determining the conductivity of these nominally undoped ZnO films.
