Structural, optical and electrical properties of AZO/Cu/AZO tri-layer films prepared by radio frequency magnetron sputtering and ion-beam sputtering

Highly conducting tri-layer films consisting of a Cu layer sandwiched between Al-doped ZnO (AZO) layers (AZO/Cu/AZO) were prepared on glass substrates at room temperature by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering of AZO and ion-beam sputtering of Cu. The tri-layer films have superior photoelectric properties compared with the bi-layer films (Cu/AZO, AZO/Cu) and single AZO films. The effect of AZO thickness on the properties of the tri-layer films was discussed. The X-ray diffraction spectra show that all films are polycrystalline consisting of a Cu layer with the cubic structure and two AZO layers with the ZnO hexagonal structure having a preferred orientation of (0 0 2) along the c-axis, and the crystallite size and the surface roughness increase simultaneously with the increase of AZO thickness. When the AZO thickness increases from 20 to 100 nm, the average transmittance increases initially and then decreases. When the fixed Cu thickness is 8 nm and the optimum AZO thickness of 40 nm was found, a resistivity of 7.92 × 10⁻⁵ Ω cm and an average transmittance of 84% in the wavelength range of visible spectrum of tri-layer films have been obtained.

Study of optoelectronics and microstructures on the AZO/nano-layer metals/AZO sandwich structures

In this study, growth nano-layer metals (Al, Cu, Ag) and Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films are deposited on glass substrates as the transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) to form AZO/nano-layer metals/AZO sandwich structures. The conductivity properties of thin films are enhanced when the average transmittance over the wavelengths 400–800 nm is maintained at higher than 80 %. A radio frequency magnetron sputtering system is used to deposit the metal layers and AZO thin films of different thickness, to form AZO/Al/AZO (ALA), AZO/Cu/AZO (ACA) and AZO/Ag/AZO (AGA) structures. X-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopy are used to analyze the crystal orientation and structural characteristic. The optical transmission and resistivity are measured by UV–VIS–NIR spectroscopy and Hall effect measurement system, respectively. The results show that when the Ag thickness is maintained at approximately 9 nm, the TCOs thin film has the lowest resistivity of 8.9 × 10^?5 Ω-cm and the highest average transmittance of 81 % over the wavelengths 400–800 nm. The crystalline Ag nano-crystal structures are observed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. In addition, the best figure of merit for the AZO/Ag/AZO tri-layer film is 2.7 × 10^?2 (Ω^?1), which is much larger than that for other structures.     

Damp heat stability of AZO transparent electrode and influence of thin metal film for enhancing the stability

The electrical properties of Aluminum doped ZnO (AZO) thin films prepared by sol–gel method were investigated as a function of annealing atmosphere (vacuum, argon +5 % hydrogen and pure hydrogen) and doping concentration (1, 2, 3 and 4 wt%). An optimal annealing atmosphere (pure hydrogen) and doping concentration (2 wt%) was obtained with a minimum resistivity of 1.6 × 10^?3 Ω cm. The structural, optical and electrical stability has been investigated by a damp-heat test in an environment with 85 % relative humidity at 85 °C. The degradation of the electrical film properties was due to the decrease of carrier concentration and mobility, whereas, no significant change was observed for structural and optical properties. The thin metallic layer (Ti or Cr) was deposited on AZO by sputtering to prevent the penetration of oxygen and water into film thus increasing the electrical stability. Oxide layer of metal was formed on surface when it comes to air at room temperature which was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and thus a bi-layer of metal/metal oxide layer on AZO film enhances the electrical stability.
