Abstract

We report on the effects of co-doping with fluorine on properties of ZnO thin films grown by pulsed-laser deposition. The transport characteristics of Ag-F and Li-F codoped ZnO films were determined by Hall-effect measurements at room temperature. Ag-F codoped ZnO films showed n-type semiconducting behaviors. An ambiguous carrier type was observed in Li-F codoped ZnO films grown at a temperature of 500$^{\circ}C$ with the oxygen pressures of 20 and 200 mTorr. The qualities of the codoped ZnO films were studied by X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, and photoluminescence.
