Phosphorus‐doped zinc oxide (ZnO:P) films with red phosphorus as dopant were grown in a radio‐frequency target‐to‐intermediate‐target sputtering process. As‐grown ZnO:P films were annealed at 500 °C for relaxing the mechanical strain in the films, and subsequently laser irradiated. X‐ray diffraction and SIMS reveal surface melting of the thin films due to laser irradiation and a subsequent strain relaxation during their recrystalization in (0002) direction. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy hints at the formation of stable complexes, such as P Zn –2V Zn , with phosphorus occupying a zinc site (P Zn ) and zinc vacancies (V Zn ).
