Co-Doped ZnO Transparent Conductive Films for LCD and UV Detectors

Abstract

Zr,Ga co-doped ZnO transparent conductive films were deposited on glass substrates by DC magnetron sputtering at room temperature.The influence of sputtering pressure on the structural,electrical,and optical properties of Zr,Ga co-doped ZnO films was investigated by X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy (SEM),digital four-point probe,and optical transmission spectroscopy.The lowest resistivity of the Zr,Ga co-doped ZnO film is 3.01×10-4Ω﹒cm.All the films present a high transmittance of above 91% in the visible range.These results make the possibility for liquid crystal display (LCD) and UV photoconductive detectors.
