We show that the deposition of ZnO films under varying oxygen partial pressure and annealing conditions allows for the controllable formation of specific defects. Using x-ray diffraction and photoluminescence, we characterize the defects formed and show that these defects are responsible for changes in film carrier density, carrier type, sheet resistivity and mobility.
