Differences Between Doped and Undoped Zirconium Alloy Oxide Layers

Abstract

2 eV and the temperature dependence of resistivity, electron mobility and carrier concentration, and also the behavior of injection and extraction currents, were found to be equal inside the error limits, thus proving the doping to be ineffective. Zirconium oxide fits into the group of oxide semiconductors, being an n-type reduction semiconductor, conduction depending on stoichiometric deviation, i.e. missing oxygen.
