| Summary: | Gallium and nitrogen ions have been implanted into ZnO crystals and metal organic vapor phase epitaxy grown ZnO layers. Postimplantation annealing behavior in the temperature range between 200 and 900 °C has been studied by means of Raman scattering and low-temperature photoluminescence. The temperature for healing of the implantation-induced defects was found to be 800 °C. Implanted gallium acts as donor with a donor binding energy ED of 53 meV, thus allowing the control of n-type doping in ZnO. From photoluminescence measurements of the donor-acceptor pair transition of a series of nitrogen-implanted ZnO samples we estimate the binding energy EA of the nitrogen acceptor between 163 and 196 meV. Electrical characterization of nitrogen-implanted samples shows a behavior ranging from low n-type to highly compensated. But no unambiguous and reproducible type conversion could be achieved. |
