Room-temperature synthesized copper iodide thin film as degenerate p-type transparent conductor with a boosted figure of merit

Abstract: A degenerate p-type conduction of cuprous iodide (CuI) thin films is achieved at the iodine-rich growth condition, allowing for the record high room-temperature conductivity of ∼156 S/cm for asdeposited CuI and ∼283 S/cm for I-doped CuI. At the same time, the films appear clear and exhibit a high transmission of 60-85% in the visible spectral range. The realization of such simultaneously high conductivity and transparency boosts the figure of merit of a p-type TC: its value jumps from ∼200 to ∼17,000 MΩ −1 . P… Show more

“…Interestingly, one of the first transparent conductors, discovered by Karl Baedeker in 1907, was a nonoxide, p-type degenerate semiconductor, CuI. [76,77] Non-oxide wide-gap (direct and indirect) semiconductors with P, S, or N anions are attractive candidates for p-type materials discovery as their valence bands are more delocalized, leading to a lower hole effective mass. [59,78] This approach has been demonstrated experimentally with Cu-based p-type transparent chalcogenides (S, Se, Te) and oxychalcogenides, most notably CuAlS 2 , BaCu 2 S 2 , BaCu 2 (S, Se)F, and Cu-Zn-S, resolving one of the issues with the localized O 2p orbital and, upon optimization, reaching conductivities greater than 10 S cm −1 .…”

“…Как можно видеть на рис. 2, a, удель-ное электросопротивление этих пленок было низким, ∼ 1 · 10 −4 Ом · м, т. е. того же порядка величины, что и у вырожденных полупроводниковых пленок иодида меди, представленных в работе [45]. Вместе с тем показанные на рис.…”

“…2, b, составили E ≈ 0.08 и E ≈ 0.09 эВ для пленок CuI, осажденных на подлож-ки из слюды и стекла соответственно. В соответствии с [45,46] такие E являются свидетельством наличия в них мелких акцепторных уровней преимущественно в виде вакансий меди V Cu , которые обеспечивают высокую электропроводность иодида меди за счет формирования свободных носителей заряда h…”
