In this study, we investigated the effects of Mn dopant (0.1∼3.0 at% Mn3O4 sintered at 100 0℃ for 1 h in air) on the bulk trap (i.e. defect) and grain boundary properties of ZnO, ZM(0.1∼3.0) using admittance spectroscopy (AS), and impedance-modulus spectroscopy (IS & MS). As a result, three kinds of defect were found below the conduction band edge of ZnO as 0.09∼0.14 eV (attractive coulombic center), 0.22∼25 eV (Zn¨(i)), and 0.32∼0.33 eV (V`o). The oxygen vacancy increased with Mn doping. In ZM, an electrically single grain boundary as double Schottky barrier was formed with 0.82∼1.0 eV of activation energies by IS & MS. We also find out that the barriers of grain boundary of Mn-doped ZnO (α-factor=0.13) were more stabilized and homogenized with temperature compared to pure ZnO.
