“…In all likelihood, the combination of the Al/Zn atomic ratio of 20 % and the annealing temperature of 500°C are responsible for the lowest peak's intensity. Importantly, a preferred orientation is seen along the (101) plane in all the crystalline AZO samples, whereas Verma et al [22] have observed a preferred orientation along the (100) plane of air annealed AZO film. Valle et al [31] have observed that there is a preferred AZO crystal growth direction along the (100) plane for Al/Zn atomic ratios up to 3%.…”

“…They [19] have found that the crystalline quality and electrical mobility continuously increase with increases of the annealing temperature up to 800°C. Previously, it has been determined that the air annealed Al rich ZnO (AZO) *Corresponding author: jaehyun@dgist.ac.kr KIM and Springer with an Al/Zn molar ratio > 20% can be used as an antireflection coating [22] on the front surface of silicon solar cells. However, hydrogen annealed AZO films passivate the p-type silicon surface [23].…”

“…This issue has been partially solved using anti reflective coatings (ARC), as silicon oxide -SiO 2 [6], siliconnitride -SiN x [7] and solgel Al doped zinc oxide-AZO [8], among others. Some of those films have demonstrated excellent optical transmittance (~90%) in the 400-1100 nm wavelength range.…”

“…There are several methods to synthesis AZO such as sol-gel [6], spray pyrolysis [7], precipitation [8], and hydrothermal processes [9]. Among these methods, sol-gel method is in great demand due to it has thin and large layer, simple, and low cost [10].…”
