Investigation on the Effect of the Substrate Temperature on the Photoelectric Properties of the Ga Doped ZnO Film

Article Preview

Abstract:

The Ga doped ZnO film (GZO) was fabricated via magnetron sputtering on the substrate of silica glass. The effect of substrate temperature on the photoelectric properties of GZO film, such as morphology, grain size, crystal structure and transparency was studied. The results showed us that the crystallinity of GZO film was improved by increasing the substrate temperature . The GZO film exhibited high transmittance (above 80% in the visible region) at the substrate temperature higher than 200°C. The lowest resistivity of 4.45×10-4Ω·cm and highest hall mobility of 11.7 cm2 v-1s-1 were obtained when the substrate temperature was 300°C.
