Preparation and Electrical Characterization of B-N Codoped p-type MgZnO Film
Preparation of p-type MgZnO film is still one subject of high-efficiency ultraviolet luminescence and solar-blind ultraviolet photodetectors devices. In this work
aiming at the problems of low carrier concentration and high resistivity in N-doped p type MgZnO film
using 99.99% pure nitrogen and argon as sputtering gas
p-type B-N co-doped MgZnO film and N doped MgZnO film were deposited on quartz substrate by radio frequency magnetron sputtering with B-N co-doped MgZnO target and N doped MgZnO target respectively. It is found that the prepared MgZnO films show p-type electrical properties by a Hall effect measurement. Compared with N-doped MgZnO film
the carrier concentration of B-N co-doped MgZnO film is increased from 5.53×10

Ω·cm to 31.70 Ω·cm. The measurement of XRD and XPS reveals that B occupies Zn site or Mg site and N has three doping states. The first state is that N atom occupies O site which is the nearest neighbor with Zn or Mg atom

. The third state is that N atom occupies O site which is the nearest neighbor with B atom
forming B-N pair. Therefore
B doping can improve the N dopant acceptor concentration
affect little on holes scattering and reduce resistivity of p-type MgZnO.
