摘要
ZAO (ZnO:Al) transparent conductive thin films have been prepared by middle-frequency alternative magnetron sputtering with ZAO (98 wt % ZnO + 2 wt.% Al2O3) ceramic target. The influences of substrate temperature on the microstructure, optical, and electrical performances of ZAO films have been studied. UV-Vis and Van der Pauw investigated the visible transmittance, carrier concentration, and Hall mobility, respectively, while microstructure has been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show substrate temperature is a dominant factor for microstructure, optical, and electrical performances of ZAO thin films. The lowest resistivity obtained in this study was 4.6 x 10(-4) Omega CM for the film with sheet resistance of 32 Omega, which was deposited at the substrate temperature of 250 degreesC and operation gas pressure of 0.8 Pa.
