Al-doped ZnO (AZO) nanorods (NRs) with different lengths were deposited by utilizing glancing angle deposition (GLAD) technique in a DC sputter system at room temperature. The structural and optical characteristics of the NRs were investigated by the X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy measurements. A band gap of about 3.5 eV was observed for the NRs. A novel capping process utilizing varying deposition angles was used to introduce a blanket metal top contact for the electrical characterization of NRs. Current-voltage (I-V) measurements were used to properly evaluate the approximate resistivity of a single NR. The electrical conduction was found to be governed by the thermally activated transport mechanism. Activation energy was determined as 0.14 eV from temperature dependent resistivity data.
