Growth of ZnO and device applications

Abstract The molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) technique was used for ZnO epitaxial growth and growth properties were evaluated. Intrinsic ZnO epilayers with mobility of 120 cm 2 /(V s) and carrier concentrations of 7 × 10 16 cm −3 were obtained. ZnO on Si, bandgap engineering using Se and nitrogen doping were carried out for research of device application using this growth technique. We found a large bowing parameter of 12.7 eV in ZnOSe, new ZnOSSe semiconductor that is lattice matched to Si and able to change the bandgap from UV to IR, and co-doping phenomenon of N and Ga doped ZnO.
