High-quality single-crystal Ga-doped ZnO films have been epitaxially deposited on (0002) sapphire substrate by low-pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) technique. The dependence of structural, electrical and optical properties of films on Ga doping concentration was investigated. As grown at the Ga/Zn gas ratio of 3.2at%, the film shows a narrow linewidth of 0.26 degrees for ZnO (0002) peak, high carrier concentration of 2.47 x 10(19) cm(-3), and high optical transparency over 90%. The carrier concentration increased sharply and became saturated at higher doping level due to the onset of carrier compensation. The Burstein-Moss blueshift of the absorption edge energy increased as expected with the carrier concentration up to 2.47 x 10(19) cm(-3). In addition, doping-induced photo luminescence (PL) emission linewidth broadening and bandgap renormalization (BGR) effects have also been observed. The intensity of PL emission decreased with increasing Ga dopant concentration, which was believed to be a direct consequence of the doping-enhanced nonradiative recombination rates.
