Abstract
N-doped ZnO thin films with c-axis preferred orientation were prepared on p-Si(100) wafers, using an RF magnetron sputter deposition. For ZnO deposition, $N_2O$ gas was employed as a dopant source and various deposition conditions such as $N_2O$ gas fraction and RF power were applied. The depth pofiles of the nitrogen [N] atoms incorporated into the ZnO thin films were investigated by Auger Electron Spectroscopy(AES) and the nano-scale structural characteristics of the N-doped ZnO thin films were also investigated by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) technique.
