摘要
Aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) films were fabricated at a low substrate temperature (300 degrees C) in air by KrF excimer laser irradiation of sol-gel spin-coated films. Structural, electrical and optical properties of the laser-irradiated films at different laser energies were studied and compared with those prepared by conventional high-temperature processing. The 200 nm laser-irradiated AZO film shows a resistivity of 44 x 10(-3) Omega-cm and about 90% optical transmittance in the visible range upon laser irradiation. The films were oriented preferentially along (002) direction. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
