| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We had previously achieved p-type conduction in wide-bandgap ZnS-based alloy, ZnSTe:N. On the basis of this achievement, we aimed at both wide bandgap and p-type conduction in Mg-added ZnMgSTe:N quaternary alloys, and have confirmed the validity of the idea. Specifically, we first improved the crystal quality of ZnSTe alloys. Although the growth of ZnMgSTe quaternary alloys had rarely been reported, we grew high quality ZnMgSTe quaternary alloys by adding Mg to the ZnSTe growth process. By characterizing the ZnMgSTe alloys, the bandgap was found to increase by increasing Mg content. Furthermore, by doping with N acceptors, the ZnMgSTe showed p-type conduction.
