Atomic Layer Deposition of BeO

Plasma Enhanced Atomic Layer Deposition (PE-ALD): NCD Lucid M-100

We demonstrated the formation of a polarization-induced two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at a BeO/ZnO heterostructure interface. The polarity discontinuity induced by the c-axis-grown crystalline BeO film caused charges to accumulate on the ZnO substrate. The sheet carrier concentration and mobility of the BeO/ZnO heterostructure were 2.0 × 1014 cm-2 and 22 cm2·V-1·s-1 at room temperature, respectively, approximately 57 times and 11 times greater than those of bare ZnO, respectively.
