Abstract

We have investigated the effects of fluorine doping and deposition temperature on CdO grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Fluorine doping increases the carrier concentration of the films by about one order of magnitude at a deposition temperature of 300°C. The increased carrier concentration increases the optical bandgap from 2.4 eV to 2.85 eV. On the other hand, the higher deposition temperatures enabled by fluorine doping improve the crystal structure of the films. Therefore a higher mobility has been reached. The polycrystalline thin film CdO deposited at 450°C has the Hall mobility of 262 cm2/V-s and a carrier concentration of 3.8×1019/cm3.
