Thin films of MgIn2O4 and ZnO were prepared by pulsed laser deposition technique. HI implantation into insulating MgIn2O4 films was carried out to generate carrier electrons. Upon implantation of 5 x 10(16) cm(-2), DC conductivity at 300 K increased from below similar to10(-7) to similar to70 Scm(-1). Hot implantation at 500 degreesC resulted in a further increase in the conductivity to similar to500 Scm(-1). Hall voltage measurements revealed that the further increase in the conductivity by hot implantation originates from the enhancement of carrier generation efficiency. Hole doping by N+ implantation into n-type Ga-doped ZnO (ZnO:Ga) thin films was attempted to realize p-type ZnO films under Ga + N co-doping scheme proposed by Yamamoto and Yoshida. The conductivities monotonously decreased from 8.2 x 10(2) to 2.7 x 10(-5) Scm(-1) with increasing N+-fluences, indicating holes generated by N+ implantation compensated already existing electrons in the ZnO:Ga films. However, conduction type inversion (n --> p) was not observed irrespective of implantation conditions. (C) 2002 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
