Abstract

N‐doped ZnO (ZnO:N) thin films were prepared by atmospheric pressure mist chemical vapor deposition. The as‐grown ZnO:N film was of high resistivity with ambiguous carrier type, while the annealed sample showed p‐type conductivity with a resistivity of 22.3 Ω cm and hole concentration of 5.49 × 10^17^ cm^–3^. The crystallinity of ZnO films was improved by the annealing treatment. Unintentionally H impurities introduced into the as‐grown film could be annealed out and a near‐edge absorption related to the N states in band gap was present in the annealed sample, which was indicative of the appearance of activated N in ZnO during the annealing process. A hydrogen‐assisted nitrogen‐acceptor doping mechanism was proposed to explain the observation of p‐type ZnO. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

## Abstract We study the interaction of hydrogen donors and Lithium acceptors in bulk ZnO by electron paramagnetic resonance and photoluminescence. With increasing diffusion temperature the number of hydrogen donors increases whereas the number of deep Li acceptors decreases. In the temperature ran

We have grown nitrogen-doped ZnO (ZnO:N) films by laser molecular-beam epitaxy. The use of lattice-matched ScAlMgO 4 substrates prevented the degradation of crystallinity induced by the nitrogen incorporation to the films. Despite this improvement, we have not obtained ZnO:N films which showed p-typ
