Gallium-doped ZnO epitaxial layers were grown on a-plane sapphire substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (M BE) at various Ga cell temperatures from 350degreesC to 450degreesC. The ZnO layers grown on a-plane sapphire were c-oriented without any trace of the 30degrees rotation domains often observed in ZnO on c-plane sapphire. The Ga concentration in Ga-doped ZnO increased from 4 x 10(16) to 7 x 10(16) cm(-3) with increasing Ga cell temperature. The activation ratio of Ga was about unity when the Ga concentration exceeded 3 x 10(17) cm(-3). The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of Ga-doped ZnO were dominated by an emission at 3.362 eV which can be assigned to emission of exciton bound to Ga-related neutral donors. The intensity of this emission was maximum when the Ga concentration was 2 x 10(18) cm(-3) The high crystalline quality of the Ga-doped ZnO epilayers was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Hall effect measurement and Rutherford backscattering, spectrometry. Our results show that high-quality Ga-doped n-type ZnO can be grown on a-plane sapphire substrates by using MBE. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
