“…Furthermore, for the Al doped ZnO thin film, the (101) peak was increased indicating on more favorable of the (101) film orientation. Similar results are observed in the literature [26] but El Hichou et al [27] and Trolio et al [28] reported that the films had a preferred orientation with c-axis perpendicular to the substrate. In addition, for AZO, lattice parameters a and c of different samples were not sensitive to the Al-doping ( Table 1).…”

“…Inspired by these pioneering works, a lot of studies have been published to develop and optimize zinc oxide electrodeposition, understand its growth mechanism, and characterize its electrical and optical properties. − However, few studies have taken an interest in the doping of zinc oxide by this deposition technique. Recently, it has been shown that chloride used as a support electrolyte has a doping effect on electrodeposited zinc oxide. − Chlorine may represent an alternative to the aluminum classically considered in zinc oxide. − Indeed, aluminum doping agent is quasi-insoluble at the pH (close to neutral) needed for the electrodeposition process.…”

Highly transparent and conductive materials are required for many industrial applications. One of the interesting features of ZnO is the possibility to dope it using different elements, hence improving its conductivity. Results concerning the zinc oxide thin films electrodeposited in a zinc perchlorate medium containing a boron precursor are presented in this study. The addition of boron to the electrolyte leads to significant effects on the morphology and crystalline structure as well as an evolution of the optical properties of the material. Varying the concentration of boric acid from 0 to 15 mM strongly improves the compactness of the deposit and increases the band gap from 3.33 to 3.45 eV. Investigations were also conducted to estimate and determine the influence of boric acid on the electrical properties of the ZnO layers. As a result, no doping effect effect by boron was demonstrated. However, the role of boric acid on the material quality has also been proven and discussed. Boric acid strongly contributes to the growth of high quality electrodeposited zinc oxide. The high doping level of the film can be attributed to the perchlorate ions introduced in the bath. Finally, a ZnO layer electrodeposited in a boron rich electrolyte was tested as front contact of a Cu(In, Ga)(S, Se)2 based solar cell. An efficiency of 12.5% was measured with a quite high fill factor (>70%) which confirms the high conductivity of the ZnO thin film.
