고주파 마그네트론 스퍼터링으로~500 nm 두께의 ZnO:Al막을 증착하였다. 증착된 ZnO:Al막을 100 ℃, 200 ℃, 300 ℃ 및 400 ℃에서 10시간 동안 열처리하였다. ZnO:Al막의 열처리에 따른 저항률, 캐리어 농도 및 이동도 변화를 측정하였다. XRD, FESEM 결과를 통해 열처리에 따른 ZnO:Al막의 저항률 변화 원인을 조사하였다. ZnO:Al막의 광 투과율을 측정한 후 에너지 밴드 갭, Urbach 에너지 및 굴절률을 도출하였다. ZnO:Al막의 전기적 특성 변화를 광특성과 연관지어 설명하였다.

Al이 첨가된 ZnO(ZnO : Al) 박막과 F이 첨가된 ZnO(ZnO : F) 박막을 sol-gel 법을 이용하여 glass 기판위에 코팅하였다. 공통적으로 (002)면의 c-축 배향성을 보였지만 I(002)/[I(002) + I(101)]와 FWHM(full width at half-maximum) 값은 차이를 보였다. 특히 입자크기에 있어서는 ZnO : Al 박막에서 첨가농도가 증가함에 따라 입자크기가 감소한 반면 ZnO : F 박막에서는 F 3 at%까지 입자크기가 증가하다가 그 이후로 다시 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 진기적 성질의 측정을 위해서 Hall effect measurement를 이용하였는데 ZnO : Al 박막의 경우 Al 1 at%에서 비저항이 $2.9{\times}10^{-2}{\Omega}cm$ 이었고 ZnO : F에서는 F 3 at%에서 $3.3{\times}10^{-1}{\Omega}cm$의 값을 보였다. 또한 ZnO : F 박막은 ZnO : Al 박막에 비해서 캐리어 농도는 낮았지만(ZnO : Al $4.8{\times}10^{18}cm^{-3}$, ZnO : F $3.9{\times}10^{16}cm^{-3}$) 이동도에 있어서 상당히 큰 값(ZnO : Al $45cm^2/Vs$ ZnO:F $495cm^2/Vs$)을 보였다. 가시광선 영역에서의 평균 광투과도에 있어서는 ZnO : Al 박막에서 $86{\sim}90%$의 값을 보였지만 ZnO : F에서는 $77{\sim}85%$로 상대적으로 낮은 광투과도를 나타내었다.

Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films were grown on glass substrates by co-sputtering at room temperature. We made ZnO and Al target and ZnO:Al film is deposited with sputter which has two RF gun source. The Al content was controlled by varying Al RF power and effect of Al contents on the properties of ZnO:Al film was investigated. Crystallinity and orientation of the ZnO:Al films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), surface morphology of the ZnO:Al films was observed by atomic force microscope. Electrical properties of the ZnO:Al films were measured at room temperature by van der Pauw method and hall measurement. Optrical properties of ZnO:Al films were measured by UV-vis-NIR spectrometer.

Highly transparent ZnO films with low resistivity for thin film solar cell applications were fabricated at low temperature by rf magnetron sputtering. Al-doped ZnO films were deposited on glass substrates at a substrate temperature of $200^{\circ}C$. electrical and optical properties of the ZnO:Al films were investigated in terms of the reparation conditions. The transmittance of the ZnO:Al films in the visible range is 90 %. The lowest resistivity of the ZnO:Al films is about $5.7\times10^{-4}$ $\Omega$ cm at the Al content of 2.5 wt% with the film thickness of 500 nm. After deposition, the smooth surface of ZnO:Al films were etched in diluted HCl (0.5%) to investigate the variation of electrical and surface morphology properties due to an textured surface.

Wet etched ZnO:Al films for thin film solar cells were prepared by Facing Target sputtering(FTS) method. Wet etching has been used to produce a rough TCO surface that enables light trapping in the absorber. The ZnO:Al films for thin film solar cells were etched by HCl 0.5%. The etching performance of ZnO:Al films can be tuned by changing etching time. The etched ZnO:Al films compared to a smooth ZnO:Al thin film structure. From the results, the lowest resistivity of deposited films was $5.67\times10^{-4}$ [$\Omega$-cm] and the transmittance of all ZnO:Al thin films were over 80% in visible range.

RF magnetron sputtering 법을 이용하여 증착된 ZnO:Al 박막을 열처리하여 열처리 전 후 ZnO:Al 박막의 전기적, 광학적 특성을 연구하였다. 열처리 온도에 따라 ZnO:Al 박막의 특성이 많이 영향 받음을 확인하였다. 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 ZnO:Al 박막의 결정성과 가시광선 영역(400~800 nm)에서 투과도는 감소함을 보였다. 반면, 박막의 비저항은 $400^{\circ}C$로 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 급격히 증가하였다. 이는 박막 표면에 $O_2$ 또는 $N_2$가 흡착하여 캐리어 농도 감소에 의한 것으로 판단된다.

Al doped ZnO thin films (ZnO:Al) were deposited on poly carbonate (PC) substrate by rf magnetron sputtering. In addition, the electrical, optical properties of the films prepared at various conditions were investigated. As the sputter power increased, the resistivity of ZnO:Al films decreased, regardless of substrate types. However, the resistivity of the films increased with the sputter pressure. The ZnO:Al films were increasingly dark gray colored as the sputter power increased, resulting in the loss of transmittance. High quality films with resistivity as low as 1.43${\times}$10$^{-4}$ Ω-cm and transmittance over 80 % have been obtained by suitably controlling the deposition parameters.

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.

ZnO and Al-doped ZnO thin films were prepared by sol-gel dip-coating method and electrical and optical properties of films were investigated. Using the zinc acetate dihydrate and acetylaceton(AcAc) as a chelating agent stable ZnO sol was synthesized with HCl catalyst. Adding aluminium chloride to the ZnO sol Al-doped ZnO sol could be also synthesized. As Al contents increase the crystallinity of ZnO thin film was retarded by increased compressive stress in the film resulted from the difference of ionic radius between Zn2+ and Al3+ The thickness of ZnO and Al-doped ZnO thin film was in the range of 2100~2350$\AA$. The resistivity of ZnO thin films was measured by Van der Pauw method. ZnO and Al-doped ZnO thin films with annealing temperature and Al content had the resistivity of 0.78~1.65$\Omega$cm and ZnO and Al-doped ZnO thin film post-annealed at 40$0^{\circ}C$ in vacuum(5$\times$10-5 torr) showed the resistivity of 2.28$\times$10-2$\Omega$cm. And the trans-mittance of ZnO and Al-doped ZnO thin film is in the range of 91-97% in visible range.

The structural, optical and electrical properties of ZnO films doped with 1.5 at% of 3A materials(B, Al, Ga, In) were studied by sol-gel process. The films were found to be c-axis (002) oriented hexagonal structure on glass substrate, when post heated at 500 $^{\circ}C$. The surface of the films showed a uniform and nano size microstructure and the crystalline size of doped films decreased. The lattice constants of ZnO:B/Al/Ga increased than that of ZnO, while ZnO:In decreased. All the films were highly transparent(above 90 %) in the visible region. The energy gaps of ZnO:B/Al/Ga were increased a little, but that of ZnO:In was not changed. The resistivities of ZnO:Al/Ga/In were less than 0.1 $\Omega$cm. All the films showed a semiconductor properties in the light or temperature, however ZnO:In was less sensitive to it. A figure of merit of ZnO:In had the highest value of 0.025 $\Omega^{-1}$ in all samples.
