Rutile-type GeO2 is considered a promising ultra-wide bandgap oxide semiconductor capable of ambipolar conduction, but an effective doping technique has not yet been established. Severe re-evaporation and formation of amorphous phase during the film growth process have been obstacles to doping control. In this study, by adopting a post-process utilizing hydrogen plasma treatment, we demonstrated electrical conductivity in r-GeO2. Furthermore, through electrical characterization and first-principles calculations, we revealed the coexistence of ionic and electronic conduction attributed to interstitial hydrogen.
