“…x Cd x O thin films such as sol-gel [15,16], spray pyrolysis [17,18], chemical bath deposition [19], metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) [20], electrodeposition [21], molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) [22,23], magnetron sputtering [24,25]. In comparison, among many growth techniques, the magnetron sputtering has some distinctive advantages, for example, it is cost-effective for the growth of ZnO films with different dopant sources on various substrates.…”
