Abstract

Ga/Al doped ZnO (GAZO) thin films were prepared on non-alkali glass substrate by co-sputtering system using two DC cathodes equipped with AZO ($Al_2O_3$:2.0 wt%) target and GZO ($Ga_2O_3$:6.65 wt%) target. This study examined the influence of Al/Ga concentration and substrate temperature on the electrical, structural and optical properties of GAZO films. The lowest resistivity $1.95{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm$ was obtained at room temperature. With increasing substrate temperature, resistivity of GAZO film decreased to a minimum value of $7.47{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ at below $300^{\circ}C$. Furthermore, when 0.05% $H_2$ gas was introduced, resistivity of GAZO film decreased to $6.69{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$. All the films had a preferred orientation along the (002) direction, indicating that the deposited films have hexagonal wurtzite structure formed by the textured growth along the c-axis. The average transmittance of the films was more than 85% in the visible light range.
