Abstract

ZnO is a wide bandgap semiconductor with huge potential to fabricate optoelectronic devices operating in the UV region. However, it is still not possible to achieve p-type ZnO, with hydrogen suggested to be a shallow donor that contributes significantly to the n-type conductivity in as grown ZnO. A better understanding on the role of H in ZnO is needed to realise p-type doping in ZnO. In this research, we utilised multiple structural and optical techniques to study the effects caused by H implantation in ZnO. The H implanted region in single crystal ZnO substrate was characterised by X-Ray diffraction, photoluminescence spectroscopy, secondary ion mass spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. XRD results show that H implantation created deformed layers with strain increasing linearly with implantation dose. A blue shift is also observed from the UV photoluminescence emission of the H implanted ZnO.
