초록

Highly conductive and transparent films of Ga-doped ZnO have been prepared by pulsed laser deposition using a ZnO target with 3 wt% ${Ga_2}{O_3}$ dopant. Films with the resistivity as low as $3.3{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ and the transmittance above 80 % at the wavelength of 400 to 800 nm can be fabricated on glass substrate at room temperature. It is shown that a stable resistivity for the use in oxidation ambient at high temperature can be obtained for the films. Heat treatments were performed to examine the thermal stability of ZnO and GZO films at ptemperature range from $100^{\circ}C$ to $400^{\circ}C$ in $O_2$ ambient for 30 minutes. The resistivity of ZnO film annealed at $400^{\circ}C$ increased by two orders of magnitude, in case of GZO film was relatively stable up to at $400^{\circ}C$. For practical applications at high temperatures the thermal stability of resistivity of GZO thin films might become an advantage for transparent electrodes.
