Magnetron Sputtered Al-ZnO Thin Films for Photovoltaic Applications
The optimization process of the RF magnetron sputtered Al − doped ZnO (AZO) thin films was carried out by studying its structural, optical, electrical, and morphological properties at different RF power and different working pressures for its use as a front-contact for the copper indium diselenide (...

| Summary: | The optimization process of the RF magnetron sputtered Al − doped ZnO (AZO) thin films was carried out by studying its structural, optical, electrical, and morphological properties at different RF power and different working pressures for its use as a front-contact for the copper indium diselenide (CIS) based thin film solar cell. The structural study suggests that the preferred orientation of grains along the ( /002) plane having a hexagonal structure of the grains. The optical and electrical properties suggest that the films show an average transmission of 85 % and a resistivity of the order of 10-4 Ωcm. The morphology analysis suggests the formation of packed grains having a homogeneous surface. |
