Correlation of structural, electrical and optical properties of Al-doped ZnO TCOs

Rajan Singh et al.

Summary: In this study, AZO films with thicknesses of 2-5 μm were deposited using RF magnetron sputtering. The films were characterized using various techniques, including XRD, Raman spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, four-point probe method, and Hall effect measurements. The results showed that the films were crystalline in nature with a preferred orientation along the c-axis. The average crystallite size increased with film thickness, and the films exhibited a decrease in resistivity with increasing carrier concentration and mobility. The optical transmittance decreased with increasing film thickness, and the band gap of the films ranged between 3 and 3.2 eV.

The effect of RF plasma power on remote plasma sputtered AZO thin films

B. C. Bussell et al.

Summary: Aluminium-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films were deposited by remote plasma sputtering and their microstructure, chemical composition, and residual stress were investigated. The films exhibited optimum resistivity and optical transmittance at a specific RF plasma power of 1.5 kW. Factors such as grain size, orientation, and preferential sputtering affected the film properties.

Magnetron co-sputtering optimized aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) film for high-response formaldehyde sensing

Ming Zhang et al.

Summary: A thin film sensor based on aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) prepared by magnetron co-sputtering technology showed excellent response to formaldehyde at an operating temperature of 240 degrees C. The sensor exhibited good sensitivity to formaldehyde ranging from 100 ppb to 3 ppm, and could detect as low as 50 ppb, with high reproducibility and selectivity over other gases.
