Preparation of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) Thin Film as Transparent Conductive Oxide (TCO) from Zinc Complex Compound on Thin Film Solar Cells: A Study of O₂ Effect on Annealing Process

Study on Magnetron Sputtered Nb‐Doped ZnO Thin Films switching properties for RRAM Applications

“…[4] ZnO thin films can be used as transparent electrode in solar cells, replacing traditional electrodes made of indium tin oxide (ITO). [5] The high conductivity and transparency of ZnO thin films make them ideal for use in photodetectors, where they can efficiently convert light into electrical signals. [6] ZnO thin films can also be used in the fabrication of LEDs, where they can act as a buffer layer or an active layer, depending on the device structure.…”

Non-seed chemical bath deposition of ZnO films in a rotating continuous flow reactor with various carboxylic acids and their application to transparent conductive films

“…In particular, transparent conductive ZnO films are expected to be used not only in conventional devices but also in recent arising applications such as in the active layer of transparent thin film transistors, 14 the interlayer of heterojunction solar cells 15 and perovskite solar cells, 16,17 and photo-and opto-electronic devices. 18,19 As solution processes for preparing the ZnO films, dip coating and spin coating techniques [20][21][22] and spray pyrolysis 23 are alternatives to conventional PVD techniques; however, these methods usually require thermal processes (>300 °C) for crystallization and improvement of the crystallinity of target materials after deposition. There has been a demand to lower the processing temperatures below 200 °C due to the application of TCs to flexible plastic devices.…”

A comparative study of the effect of solvents on the optical, structural and morphological properties of ZnO-GO nanocomposites synthesized by sol-gel method

“…Zinc Oxide (ZnO), a wide band gap II-VI semiconductor has been a subject of extensive research owing to its numerous interesting properties, making it a desirable material for application in conductive oxide [1], solar cell [2], display and sensors [3,4], and photocatalysis [5,6]. However, pure ZnO suffers from weak photo response [7], fast recombination of electron-hole pairs [8] and low operating speed.…”
