Indium doped ZnO film was fabricated at room temperature by co-sputtering a zinc target and an indium plate under the flow of oxygen and argon. The film was then characterized and the field emission of the film was studied. The indium composition x in the film (Zn1−xInxO) is 5%. The film is hexagonal without any secondary phases or precipitates. The film has two major emission peaks, one related to the band edge emission and another possibly related to the electron acceptor transition. The possible acceptor is nitrogen occupying oxygen site in ZnO. The film is n-type and very resistive. The turn on field of the film at an emission current density of 10 μA/cm2 is 17.5 V/μm. The relatively weak field emission property is due to the unintentional incorporation of acceptors such as substitutional nitrogen and oxygen vacancies, which increase the work function of ZnO by reducing the electron density and lowering the Fermi level position of the ZnO:In film.
