Abstract: | Al-doped ZnO (AZO) films were deposited on glass by hollow cathode gas flow sputtering using Zn-Al alloy targets. Sputtering power for all the depositions was fixed at 1500 W. Resistivities of 0.81-1.1 × 10− 3 Ω cm were obtained for AZO films deposited at room temperature with an O2 flow from 38 to 50 standard cubic centimetre/minute (SCCM), while static deposition rates were almost constant at 270-300 nm/min. On the other hand, lower resistivities of 5.2-6.4 × 10− 4 Ω cm were obtained for AZO films deposited at 200 °C with an O2 flow from 25 to 50 SCCM, while the static deposition rates were almost constant at 200-220 nm/min. Average transmittances in the visible light region were above 80% for both sets of films. |
