P-type nitrogen-doped ZnO films are prepared successfully by in-situ thermal oxidation of Zn3N2 films. The prepared films are characterized by x-ray diffraction, non-Rutherford backscattering (non-RBS) spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and photoluminescence spectrum. The results show that the Zn3N2 films start to transform to ZnO at 400 degrees C and the total nitrogen content decreases with the increasing annealing temperature. The p-type films are achieved at 500 degrees C with a low resistivity of 6.33 Omega center dot cm and a high hole concentration of +8.82 x 10(17) cm(-3), as well as a low level of carbon contamination, indicating that the substitutional nitrogen (NO) is an effective acceptor in the ZnO:N film. The photoluminescence spectra show clear UV emissions and also indicate the presence of oxygen vacancy (V-O) defects in the ZnO: N films. The p-type doping mechanism is briefly discussed.
