Electrical, optical and microstructural properties of transparent conducting GZO thin films deposited by magnetron sputtering

Synthesis and characterization of zinc oxide thin films for optoelectronic applications

“…3 shows the transmittance spectrum of the ZnO micro-ring structured thin films. Fluctuations and wave-like patterns appeared on the transmittance spectrum due to the interference of light reflected between the air-film and film-glass interfaces, indicating the film’s low surface roughness and good uniformity [37]. The film had an average transparency of about 75–80% in the visible region which may be associated with the film’s good structural homogeneity and crystallinity [7].…”

Influence of RF power on the opto-electrical and structural properties of gallium-doped zinc oxide thin films

“…The undoped ZnO has a high resistivity due to a low carrier concentration. To improve its structural, optical and electrical properties, ZnO can be doped with various group-III metals such as aluminum (Al), indium (In), boron (B) and gallium (Ga) [8][9][10]. From many researches related to doping effect of impurities on ZnO, it is widely reported that Al and Ga are the best dopants for ZnO [11].…”

Effect of silver nitrate concentration of silver nanowires synthesized using a polyol method and their application as transparent conductive films

“…Numerous materials that exhibit certain optical and electrical attributes of ITO are currently being developed; these include the zinc oxide series (ZnO:Al; ZnO:Ga) [4,5], graphene [6], conductive polymers [7], carbon nanotubes [8], metal meshes [9], and metal nanowires [10][11][12]. Recently, Kim et al [13] reported results from the deposition of large-area graphene films by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method.…”
