Abstract

Al doped zinc oxide films (ZnO:Al) were deposited on glass substrate by RF magnetron sputtering from a ZnO target mixed with 2 wt% $Al_2O_3$. The as-deposited ZnO:Al films were rapid-thermal annealed. Electrical properties and structural evolution of the films, as annealed by rapid thermal process (RTP), were studied and compared with the films annealed by conventional annealing process. RTP, the (002) peak intensity increases and the electrical resistivity decreases by 20%, after RT annealing. The effects of RT annealing on the structural evolution and electrical properties of RF sputtered films were further discussed and compared also with the films deposited by DC magnetron sputtering.
