Al-doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films have been prepared via a sol-gel process. Optical and photoluminescent properties of the AZO films have been investigated. The UV absorption edge was blue shifted with increasing At doping concentration. Efficient green-yellow emission was obtained after annealing at 850 degrees C. For the 850 degrees C-annealed samples, the green peak was red shifted from 518 to 565 nm as the Al doping concentration increased from 0 to 2.0 at.%. In addition, violet emission in the range of 400-450 nm was observed in the 850 degrees C-annealed AZO films. The possible origins responsible for these emission bands have been discussed.
