Electrical transport measurements on single Ga+-implanted ZnO nanorods are presented in this contribution. The nanorods were grown by the vapor solid liquid technique and electrically contacted using a procedure based on electron-beam lithography. The implantations were carried out in a combined scanning electron microscope/focused-ion-beam system with doses between 1011 and 1017 cm−2. At implantation doses of about 1014 cm−2, a maximum of the resistance is observed, which we attribute to the decrease of carrier mobility due to lattice defects. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy shows that a high density of stacking faults is generated which consist of inserted (0002) planes perpendicular to the current flow. At high implantation doses, a significant reduction of the resistance is observed. Low specific resistivities of about 3x10−3 Ωcm are reached without additional annealing treatment after high-dose implantation [1].
