摘要
Transparent indium zinc oxide (IZO) ohmic contacts to phosphor-doped n-type ZnO have been formed. The resistance, transmittance, and phase reliability of the contacts were investigated. As deposited, an ohmic contact was formed with a specific contact resistance of about 1.1x10(-4) Omega cm(2) and the transmittance of the ZnO/IZO (520/350 nm) film was more than 75% in the 450-1100 nm wavelength range. After annealing at 400 degrees C for 5 min in a vacuum (2x10(-5) mbar), the specific contact resistance was reduced by about two orders of magnitude to 3.8x10(-6) Omega cm(2), while maintaining the contact stability and high optical transparency.
