Using radio frequency magnetron sputtering technique
N doped ZnO films were prepared on quartz substrate with mixture of nitrogen and argon as sputtering gas
and the nitrogen flux was 0
8
20
32 mL/min
respectively. The effects of the nitrogen flux on the structure and properties of N doped ZnO thin films were investigated. It is found that the resistivity of the films increases with the increasing of the nitrogen flux
and the content of N
O
and (N
2
)
O
increases
too. When the nitrogen flux is 8 mL/min
the deposited film has the best effective doping efficiency of nitrogen. Furthermore
the thickness of ZnO: N films decreases with the nitrogen flux increasing.
