Abstract

AI doped ZnO (AZO) films, and intentionally Zn added AZO (ZAZO) films were prepared on Corning glass by rf magnetron sputtering, and the electrical, optical, and structural properties of the as-deposited films together with the air annealed films were investigated. The resistivity of the AZO films increased with increasing substrate temperature and having minimum resistivity at $150^{\circ}C$. At the high temperature, the ZAZO films showed improved electrical properties better than the AZO films due.to increase in both the carrier concentration and.the Hall mobility. Upon air annealing at $500^{\circ}C$, the resistivity of both AZO and ZAZO films increased substantially, but the relative amount of degradation was smaller for films deposited at $450^{\circ}C$ than the films deposited at $150^{\circ}C$.
