Lithium and nitrogen dual-doped ZnO films [ZnO:(Li, N)] with Li concentrations of 0%–11.2% were grown on sapphire by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy, and a stable p-type ZnO:(Li, N) film was obtained by doping 6.1% of Li. The p-type conductivity of ZnO:(Li, N) is attributed to the formation of the Lii–NO complex, which depresses the compensation of Lii donor for LiZn acceptor and the generation of (N2)O donors. It is demonstrated that the Lii–NO complex can form an impurity band above the valance band maximum, resulting in a decrease in the ionization energy of the acceptor and an improvement in the conductivity and stability of the p-type ZnO:(Li, N).
