Transparent high-surface-work-function Al-doped CdO electrodes obtained by rf magnetron sputtering with oxygen flow

Influence of SnO2:F/ZnO:Al bi-layer as a front electrode on the properties of p-i-n amorphous silicon based thin film solar cells

“…The addition of oxygen to the ZnO argon sputtering plasma generally results in highly sensitive ZnO films due to the suppression of oxygen vacancy defects, which is a suggested approach for tuning the work function. 12,13 The work function of AZO films increases when the O 2 flow rate increases. This is related to the shift in the Fermi level (E F ).…”

Effect of Substrate Temperature on Structural and Optical Properties of CdO Thin Films

“…by several techniques such as, reactive sputtering, R F magnetron sputtering, sol-gel dip coatings, chemical bath deposition and chemical spray pyrolysis [10][11][12][13][14][15][20][21][22][23][24] . The aim of this work is to study the effect of substrate temperature on some structural and optical constants utilizing chemical spray pyrolysis.…”

Effect of pH on the structural and optical properties of nanostructured CdO films grown by chemical bath deposition technique

“…For these applications, particle size, porosity and the specific surface area are of major importance. Up to the present time, various one-dimensional (1D) CdO nanostructures such as nanowires, nanoneedles, nanobelts, nanotubes and nanoparticles are synthesised by the sol-gel, chemical bath deposition, vapour phase transport, chemical vapour deposition, DC magnetron sputtering, spray-pyrolysis techniques, laser ablation, solvothermal and hydrothermal methods [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. The chemical bath deposition (CBD) technique is particularly an easy low-cost process, and useful for large-area industrial applications at the present time.…”
