초록

In an effort to improve the electrical properties of ZnO:Al transparent electrode films, post-annealing treatment in hydrogen atmosphere was attempted with varying annealing time at 573 K for compatibility with typical display device fabrication processes. It was observed that carrier concentrations and mobilities increased with longer annealing time with small changes in crystallinity. This resulted in substantial decrease in resistivity from $4.80{\times}10^{-3}$ to $8.30{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ due to increased carrier concentration. Such improvements in electrical properties are attributed to the passivation of the grain boundary surfaces. The optical properties of the films, which changed in accordance with the Burstein-Moss effect, were consistent with the observed changes in electrical properties.
