Abstract

In this study, We investigated the effects of substrate temperature on the electrical and optical properties of Ga-, B-codoped ZnO(GZOB) thin films. GZOB thin films were deposited on glass substrate with various substrate temperature in the range from R.T. to $500\;^{\circ}C$ by DC magnetron sputtering. In the reslt, GZOB films at $400\;^{\circ}C$ exhibited a low resistivity value of $8.67\;{\times}\;10^{-4}\;{\Omega}-cm$, and a visible transmission of 80% with a thickness of 300 nm. This result indicated that the addition of Ga and B in ZnO films leads to the improvement of conductivity and transparent. From the result, we can confirm the possibility of the application as transparent conductive electrodes.
