Abstract
Epitaxial growth of both pure and doped CdO thin films has been achieved on MgO (111) substrates using pulsed laser deposition. A maximum conductivity of 42 000 S/cm with mobility of 609 cm2/V s is achieved when the CdO epitaxial film is doped with 2.5% Sn. The pure CdO epitaxial film has a band gap of 2.4 eV. The band gap increases with doping and reaches a maximum of 2.87 eV when the doping level is 6.2%. Both grain boundary scattering and ionized impurity scattering are found to contribute to the mobility of CdO films.
