Abstract

Lattice-matched thin films of Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) grown on ZnO substrates have significantly better electrical properties than those grown on quartz substrates. At room temperature, mobility in a 125-nm-thick GZO layer grown by pulsed laser deposition on ZnO is increased by 30%, concentration by 50%, and conductivity by 95% over a similar layer grown on quartz. For ultrathin layers, the differences are much more dramatic: a 5-nm-thick GZO layer grown on ZnO has an excellent resistivity of 4 × 10−4 Ω cm, whereas one grown on quartz exhibits no measurable conductance.
