摘要
Highly transparent aluminium doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films were deposited by the sol gel deposition technique. The effects of various pre-sintering temperatures on the film's structural, optical and electrical properties were investigated using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, photoluminescence emission measurements, UV-vis spectroscopy and electrical characterization. It was found that the pre-sintering temperature greatly affected the film's structural properties and resulted in an almost 100% increase in grain size within the investigated experimental window. Photoluminescence emission and photovoltaic measurements confirmed that the best optoelectronic properties of AZO thin films can be achieved with a pre-sintering temperature of 400 degrees C.
