Abstract

Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) films grown by pulsed-laser deposition on quartz and other lattice-mismatched substrates can routinely attain resistivities of 2 × 10−4 Ω·cm and thus compete with Sn-doped In2O3 (ITO) in large-area transparent-electrode applications. Nondestructive, high-resolution (1-mm) maps of thickness d, concentration n, and mobility μ on such films can be obtained automatically from commercial spectroscopic ellipsometers. From n and μ, degenerate-electron scattering theory yields donor ND and acceptor NA concentrations at each point. Finally, ND and NA can be identified as [Ga] and [VZn], respectively, demonstrating high-density mapping of impurities and point defects in a semiconductor thin film.
