Abstract

ZnO with hexagonal wurzite structure is a wide band gap n-type semiconductor. ZnO films can be prepared to obtain high transparency in the visible range, low resistivity, chemical stability and stability in hydrogen plasma including many foreign materials such as Al, In. In this work, we prepared ZnO:Al thin film by Facing Targets Sputtering system with Zn metal target and ZnO:Al(Al2O3 2wt%, 4wt%) ceramic target at total working gas pressure 1mTorr, substrate temperature R.T.. We evaluated the crystallographic, electrical and optical characteristics of the ZnO:Al films.
