In this work, transparent conducting Al-doped zinc oxide (AZO) films were prepared on Coming glass substrate by RF magnetron sputtering using an Al-doped ZnO target (Al: 2 wt.%) at room temperature and all films were deposited with athickness of 150 nm. We investigated the effects of the post-annealing temperature and the annealing ambient on structural, electrical and optical properties of AZO films. The films were annealed at temperatures ranging from 300 to $500^{\circ}C$ in steps of $100^{\circ}C$ using rapid thermal annealing equipment in oxygen. The thickness of the film was observed by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and grain size was calculated from the XRD spectra using the Scherrer equation and their electrical properties were investigated using a hole measurement and the reflectance of AZO films was investigated by UV-VIS spectrometry.

AZO, GZO, ZIO 박막은 DC 마그네트론 법으로 각각의 소결체 타겟을 사용하여 유리 기판위에 증착되었다. 상온에서 증착된 GZO 박막의 경우 $1.61{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm$ 의 가장 낮은 비저항을 나타내었다. 전기적 특성을 향상시키기 위하여 기판온도를 상승하였을 때 역시 GZO 박막이 가장 낮은 $6.413{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ 을 나타내었다.

Transparent conducting aluminum-doped ZnO thin films were deposited using a sol-gel process. In this study, the important deposition parameters were investigated thoroughly to determine the appropriate procedures to grow large area thin films with low resistivity and high transparency at low cost for device applications. The doping concentration of aluminum was adjusted in a range from 1 to 4 mol% by controlling the precursor concentration. The annealing temperatures for the pre-heat treatment and post-heat treatment was $250^{\circ}C$ and 400-$600^{\circ}C$, respectively. The SEM images show that Al doped and undoped ZnO films were quite uniform and compact. The XRD pattern shows that the Al doped ZnO film has poorer crystallinity than the undoped films. The crystal quality of Al doped ZnO films was improved with an increase of the annealing temperature to $600^{\circ}C$. Although the structure of the aluminum doped ZnO films did not have a preferred orientation along the (002) plane, these films had high transmittance (> 87%) in the visible region. The absorption edge was observed at approximately 370 nm, and the absorption wavelength showed a blue-shift with increasing doping concentration. The ZnO films annealed at $500^{\circ}C$ showed the lowest resistivity at 1 mol% Al doping.

We fabricated Zinc Oxide transparent conductive thin films with 2wt% of A1203 doping using rf magnetron sputtering. And we investigated electrical and optical characteristics of them which were made with conditions ; rf power 60-300W, thickness of film 3000 11000.angs.. Resistivity, carrier concentration and Hall mobility were investigated for electrical characteristics. Transmittance and optical band gap were investigated with Spectrophotometer in the wavelength range between 200-900 nm. As a result, ZnO thin film fabricated with rf power of 180W and thickness of 5000.angs. showed the best properties. At the best condition, the sample has resistivity of 1*10$\^$-4/.ohm.cm and transmittance of 95% in the visible range.

Metal-oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) have gained a considerable interest in transparent electronics owing to their high optical transparency and outstanding electrical performance even in an amorphous state. Also, these metal-oxide materials can be solution-processed at a low temperature by using deep ultraviolet (DUV) induced photochemical activation allowing facile integration on flexible substrates [1]. In addition, high-dielectric constant (k) inorganic gate dielectrics are also of a great interest as a key element to lower the operating voltage and as well as the formation of coherent interface with the oxide semiconductors, which may lead to a considerable improvement in the TFT performance. In this study, we investigated the electrical properties of solution-processed high-k strontium-doped AlOx (Sr-AlOx) gate dielectrics. Using the Sr-AlOx as a gate dielectric, indium-gallium-zinc oxide (IGZO) TFTs were fabricated and their electrical properties are analyzed. We demonstrate IGZO TFTs with a 10-nm-thick Sr-AlOx gate dielectric which can be operated at a low voltage (~5 V).

In this study, hafnium was doped into aluminum zinc oxide (AZO) films were deposited on glass and Si substrates at room temperature via co-sputtering by varying the electric power applied to the Hf target. The properties of deposited Hf-doped AZO films, such as crystalline structure, optical transmittance, and band gap were analyzed using various methods such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV/visible spectrophotometer. The experimental results confirmed that the abovementioned properties of Hf-AZO films strongly depended on the Hf sputtering power.

Al-doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Al) films for transparent electrodes in thin film solar cells were deposited on glass substrates at a low temperature of $200^{\circ}C$ by rf magnetron sputtering. The transmittance of the ZnO:Al films in the visible range was 87%. The lowest resistivity of the ZnO:Al films was about $5.8{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}$ cm at the Al content of 2.5 wt%. After deposition, the surface of ZnO:Al films were etched in dilute HCl (0.5%) for the investigation of the change in the electrical properties and the surface morphology due to etching.

Aluminum doped zinc oxide (AZO) films were deposited on non-alkali glass substrate by DC magnetron sputtering with 3 types of AZO targets (doped with 1.0 wt%, 2.0 wt%, 3.0 wt% $Al_2O_3$). Electrical, optical properties and microstructure of AZO films have been investigated by Hall effect measurements, UV/VIS/NIR spectrophotometer, and XRD, respectively. Crystallinity of AZO films increased with increasing substrate temperature ($T_s$) and doping ratio of Al. Resistivity and optical transmittance in visible light were $8.8{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ and above 85%, respectively, for the AZO film deposited using AZO target (doped with 3.0 wt% $Al_2O_3$) at $T_s$ of $300^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, transmittance of AZO films in near-infrared region decreased with increasing $T_s$ and doping ratio of Al, which could be attributed to the increase of carrier density.

본 연구에선 ITO에 사용되는 Indium의 양을 줄이기 위해 ITO와 유사한 성질을 보이는 조성인 Indium - Zinc - Tin Turnary compound를 연구하였다. 각 조성은 Indium - Zinc - Tin Turnary compound를 기본으로 하여 Zinc site에 이종원소인 Al2O3와 Ga2O3를 doping함에 따라 변화되는 전기적 특성을 살며보았다. 분석에 사용한 Ceramic pellet은 일반적인 Ceramic process를 거쳐 제작되었다. 각 조성의 전기적 특성은 TCR meter와 Hall effect analyser를 이용하여 측정하였고, X-ray diffraction measurements(XRD), Scanning Electron microscope(SEM)를 이용하여 결정학적 특성을 분석하였다.
