Systematic study and performance optimization of transparent conducting indium–zinc oxides thin films

Fabrication of zinc indium oxide thin films and effect of post annealing on structural, chemical and electrical properties

“…The intensity of these ZnO peaks was decreased and a small ZnO (002) peak along with a sharp ZIO (101) peak was observed while peaks (007) and (322) were disappeared, in ZIO (50:50) thin film. These new ZIO peaks might be due to formation of compounds like (ZnO) 1−x (In 2 O 3 ) x , (Zn 2 In 2 O 5 ) 1−x (ZnO) x and (Zn 2 In 2 O 5 ) 1−x (In 2 O 3 ) x as also reported in the literature [19].…”

Structural and electrical properties of sputtered indium–zinc oxide thin films

“…Among multi-component oxides, a ternary compound of ZnO-In 2 O 3 (IZO) system proved to be very promising TCO for its good electrical properties and structural stability at high temperatures [16][17][18][19][20]. This IZO system also provides a wide range of composition, in which stable amorphous structure prevails when processed at low temperature [16,17,19].…”

“…This IZO system also provides a wide range of composition, in which stable amorphous structure prevails when processed at low temperature [16,17,19]. Most of the reports on IZO system, however, have focused on the compositional dependence of electrical and structural property, …”

Preparation of Transparent ZnO Thin Films via ZnO2 Precursor Deposited from Aqueous Solutions

“…Various methods have been proposed to prepare ZnO thin films, such as DC magnetron sputtering, 10 pulse laser deposition, 11 sol-gel method, 12 ,13 spray pyrolysis, 14 SILAR, 15 chemical bath deposition CBD , 16 and direct deposition from aqueous solutions.…”
