Abstract

To investigate the ZnO thin films which are interested in the next generation of short wavelength LEDs and Lasers, the ZnO thin films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering system. Al sputtering process of ZnO thin films substrate temperature, work pressure respectively is $100^{\circ}C$ and 15 mTorr, and the purity of target is ZnO 5N. The ZnO thin films were in-situ annealed at $600^{\circ}C$, $800^{\circ}C$ in $O_2$ atmosphere. Phosphorus (P) and arsenic (As) were diffused into ZnO thin films sputtered by RF magnetron sputtering system in ampoule tube which was below $5{\times}10^{-7}$ Torr. The dopant sources of phosphorus and arsenic were $Zn_3P_2$ and $ZnAS_2$. Those diffusion was perform at $650^{\circ}C$ during 3hr. We confirmed that p-type properties of ZnO thin films were concerned with dopant sources rather than diffusion temperature.
