摘要
The influence of the gadolinium doping on the structural features and opto-electrical properties of ZnO:Al (ZAO) films deposited by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering method onto glass substrates was investigated. X-ray analysis showed that the films were polycrystalline fitting well with a hexagonal wurtzite structure and have preferred orientation in [002] direction. The Gd doped ZAO film with a thickness of 140 nm showed a high visible region transmittance of 90%. The optical band gap was found to be 3.38 eV for pure ZnO film and 3.58 eV for ZAO films while a drop in optical band gap of ZAO film was observed by Gd doping. The lowest resistivities of 8.4 x 10(-3) and 10.6 x 10(-3) Omega cm were observed for Gd doped and undoped ZAO films, respectively, which were deposited at room temperature and annealed at 150 degrees C.
