摘要
Gallium (Ga) doped Zinc Oxide (ZnO) thin films are grown at room temperature (300 K) by reactive pulsed DC magnetron sputtering technique using 2 wt% and 4 wt% Ga doped ZnO targets. The temperature dependent resistivity studies have shown a semiconducting behavior with negative temperature coefficient of resistance for 2wt % Ga doped samples. A metal insulator transition (MIT) is observed for 4 wt % Ga doped targets, the possible reason for MIT may be attributed to the dopant disorder based localization for charge carriers at low temperatures.
