Abstract

We report on the fabrication of p-ZnO films by thermal oxidation of Zn3N2 deposited by reactive rf sputtering. With additional chromium doping we achieved p-type conductivity with the hole concentration ∼5×1017cm−3 and the mobility of 23.6 cm2/Vs at room temperature. We developed a method of surface passivation of p-ZnO that maintains its p-type conductivity over time-scale of months.
