Abstract

In this study, ZnO f ilms heavily doped with Al or Ga were grown on a polarity-controlled buffer layer using pulsed laser deposition. The films prepared using a 1 mol% Al-doped target with the buffer layer grown at 700 °C had the c(+)-face, whereas the films with the buffer layer grown at 400 °C had the c(-)-face, which means that the polarity control can be successfully carried out using the buffer layer. However, the films prepared using targets doped with more than 1 mol% Al or Ga had the c(+)-face regardless of the polarity of the buffer layer. The 1 mol% Al-doped ZnO film with the c(+)-face had lower electron concentration and higher growth rate than the film with the c(-)-face. This result indicates that the Al content in the film with the c(-)-face was larger than that in the film with the c(+)-face.
