✦ Synopsis
Al-N) thin films were grown on n-Si (1 0 0) substrate by RF co-sputtering technique. As-grown ZnO:Al-N film exhibited n-type conductivity whereas on annealing in Ar ambient the conduction of ZnO:Al-N film changes to p-type, typically at 600 8C the high hole concentration of ZnO:Al-N co-doped film was found to be 2.86 Â 10 19 cm À3 and a low resistivity of 1.85 Â 10 À2 V-cm.
The current-voltage characteristics of the obtained p-ZnO:Al-N/n-Si heterojunction showed good diode like rectifying behavior. Room temperature photoluminescence spectra of annealed co-doped films revealed a dominant peak at 3.24 eV.
