In this paper, the effect of substrate temperature on structural, electrical and optical properties of aluminium-doped zinc oxide (AZO) films were investigated. AZO thin films were prepared on glass substrate by pulsed DC magnetron sputtering technique. The properties of AZO were measured by using XRD, AFM, UV spectrophotometer, and hall effect measurement system. The resistivity of AZO films was improved under the condition of high substrate temperature. The resistivity decreased from $9.95{\times}10^{-2}\;{\Omega}-cm\;to\;1.1{\times}10^{-3}\;{\Omega}-cm$ as a result of high substrate temperature and the average transmittances in visible range were above 80%.

Aluminum doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films have been prepared on the glass substrates (Corning 1737) by sol-gel dip-coating method employing zinc acetate and aluminum chloride hexahydrate for the transparent conducting oxide (TCO) applications. 1 at% Al was doped to the ZnO thin films. The effects of post-heating temperature on the crystallization, optical and electrical properties of the AZO films have been investigated. Experimental results showed that post-heating temperature affected the microstructure, electrical resistance, and optical transmittance of the AZO films. From the X-ray diffraction analysis, all films have hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure. Optical transmittance spectra of the AZO films exhibited transmittance higher than about 80% within the visible wavelength region and the optical direct band gap ($E_g$) of these films was increased with increasing post-heating temperature. A minimum resistivity of $2.5{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm$ was observed at $650^{\circ}C$.

We prepared the Al doped ZnO coating Ag multilayer thin films on glass without substrate heating using FTS system. The structure of multilayer thin films has Al doped ZnO/Ag/Al doped ZnO(AZO/Ag/AZO). The thickness of top and bottom AZO thin films were fixed to 50 nm, respectively and controlled the thickness of Ag thin films with deposition time. As-doped multilayer thin films were prepared at 1mTorr and input power (DC) of 100W at room temperature. To investigate the film properties, we employed four-point probe, UVNIS spectrometer, X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Hall Effect measurement system and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM).

Al이 2 wt% 포함되어 있는 Zn 금속 target을 사용하여 반응성 직류 magnetron sputtering법으로 AZO(Aluminum doped Zinc Oxide) 투명전도막을 제막하였다. 반응성 가스인 산소의 분압과 유량을 조절하여 투과율과 전도도가 모두 우수한 전이영역을 발견하였고 전이영역을 안정적으로 유지하기 위한 증착조건을 찾아냈다. ZnO:Al막의 XRD분석결과 산화막이나 전이영역에서 증착된 막들은 ZnO결정의 (002)면의 peak가 유일하게 관찰되었다.

Tin doped indium oxide(ITO) and Al doped zinc oxide(ZnO:Al) films, which are widely used as a transparent conductor in optoelectronic devices such as solar cell, liquid crystal display, plasma display panel, thermal heater, and other sensors, were prepared by using the capacitively coupled DC magnetron sputtering method. The electrical and optical properties of both the ITO and ZnO:Al thin films were investigated as functions of substrate temperature, working gas pressure and deposition time. ITO and ZnO:Al films with the the present experimental conditions of temperature and pressure showed resistivity of $2.36{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}-cm,\;9.42{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}-cm$ and transmittance of 86.28%, 90.88% in the wavelength range of the visible spectrum, respectively.

라디오파 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방법으로 유리 기판 위에 Al 도핑된 ZnO (AZO) 박막을 성장시켰다. 증착시 스퍼터링 가스로 사용하는 산소 유량비의 변화에 따른 AZO 박막의 특성을 X-선 회절법, 원자 주사 현미경, 홀 효과 측정법으로 조사하였다. 증착 온도 $400^{\circ}C$에서 산소 유량비 0%로 증착된 AZO 박막은 가장 큰 c-축 우선 배향성과 최저의 비저항값 $6.9{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$을 나타내었다. 산소 유량비가 증가함에 따라 ZnO (002)면의 회절 피크의 세기는 실질적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한, 산소 유량비가 감소함에 따라 전하 운반자의 농도와 홀 이동도는 증가하였으나, 전기 비저항은 감소하였다.

Al-N co-doped ZnO films were fabricated on n-Si (100) and homo-buffer layers in the mixture of oxygen and nitrogen at $450^{\circ}C$ by magnetron sputtering. Target was ZnO ceramic mixed with $2wt%Al_2O_3$. XRD spectra show that as-grown and $600^{\circ}C$ annealed films are prolonged along crystal c-axis. However they are not prolonged in (001) plane vertical to c-axix. The films annealed at $800^{\circ}C$ are not prolonged in any directions. Codoping makes ZnO films unidirectional variation. XPS show that Al content hardly varies and N escapes with increasing annealing temperature from $600^{\circ}C\;to\;800^{\circ}C$. The electric properties of as-grown films were tested by Hall Effect with Van der Pauw configuration show some of them to be p-type conduction.

Phosphorus doped ZnO thin films on (001) $Al_2O_3$ substrate have been prepared by a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique using a Nd:YAG laser. After deposition, phosphorus doped ZnO thin films have been annealed in vacuum, air, nitrogen, and oxygen ambients using pulsed Nd:YAG laser. We report the electrical properties of phosphorus doped ZnO thin films with the variation of the laser annealing conditions for the applications of optoelectronic devices.

Al 농도를 0 부터 2 at.% 까지 조절하여 도핑된 $Cd_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}O$ 박막을 석영 기판 위에 성장하였다. Al 도핑된 $Cd_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}O$ 박막의 구조적, 광학적 특성을 조사하기 위해 field-emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL), 그리고 ultraviolet-visible (UV) spectroscopy을 사용하였다. 광학적 밴드갭은 Al 도핑 농도가 증가함에 따라 2.874 (0 at.%), 2.874 (0.5 at.%), 3.029 (1.0 at.%), 3.038 (1.5 at.%), 3.081 eV (2.0 at.%)로 증가하였다. Urbach energy는 도핑 농도에 따라 각각 464 (0 at.%), 585 (0.5 at.%), 571 (1.0 at.%), 600 (1.5 at.%), 470 meV (2.0 at.%)이었다. 또한, Al 농도가 증가함에 따라 $Cd_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}O$ 박막의 표면, 구조적 및 광학적 특성이 크게 변화되었다.
