Abstract

Transparent conductive ZnO: Al thin films with different Ar flow (from 30 to 60 sccm with a step of 10 sccm) with sputtering power of 150 W were prepared on the Coring glass substrate by using rf magnetron sputtering. The lowest resistivity of 3.7×10-4 Ω-cm and highest transmittance of 90% was obtained at Ar flow of 40 sccm. Transmittances for all thin films are about 80-90 % in the visible range. The observed property of the ZnO:Al thin films is suitable for transparent conductive electrode applications.
