Abstract

To investigate the ZnO thin films which is interested in the next generation of short wavelength LEDs and Lasers, our ZnO thin films were deposited by RF sputtering system. Phosphorus (P) and arsenic (As) were diffused into about 2.1${\mu}m$ ZnO thin films sputtered by RF magnetron sputtering system mn ampoule tube which was below $5\times10^{-7}$ Torr. The dopant sources of phosphorus and arsenic were $Zn_3P_2$ and $ZnAs_2$. Those diffusion was perform at 500, 600, and 700$^{\circ}C$ during 3hr. We find the condition of p-type ZnO whose diffusion condition is 700$^{\circ}C$, 3hr Our p-type ZnO thin film has not only very high carrier concentration of above $10^{19}/cm^3$ but also low resistivity of $5\times10^{-3}{\Omega}cm$.
