Abstract
Al-, Ga-, and In-doped ZnO thin films were deposited on glass substrates by aerosol assisted chemical vapour deposition (AACVD) at a deposition temperature of 450 °C. The air-stable compound zinc acetylacetonate [Zn(acac)2] was used as a Zn source, whilst for the dopants of Al, Ga and In, the corresponding trichloride was used. Methanol solutions of the metal salts were used as precursor solutions and N2 carrier gas was used for the aerosol. Films were grown in approximately 30 min and were synthesised using dopant values of 5, 10, 15 and 20 mol.% (with respect to the Zn) in the precursor solution. XRD analysis showed that the films were wurtzite ZnO. XPS analysis confirmed the presence of the dopants in the films. Several of the films showed high transparency (>80%) in the visible range, and low resistivity (∼10−3 Ω cm).
