摘要
In this work, we have successfully prepared the highly conducting and transparent In doped ZnO thin films on glass substrate using sol-gel spin-coating technique. Indium was incorporated with different concentrations of 1, 2, and 4 at.%. The effect of indium doping on the structural, optical and electrical properties of the produced films have been investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that all the films were polycrystalline with a hexagonal wurtzite structure.The growth along (002) orientation was only preferred for 2 at.% doping concentration. The transparency of In doped ZnO thin films varied from 70 to 92% in visible range. Zinc oxide thin film doped with 4 at.% concentration revealed the largest grain size, the lowest optical gap, the highest intrinsic defects amount, and the lowest resistivity which was found to be 6.10 x 10(-4) Omega cm. These In doped ZnO thin films can have big interest in solar cell industry. (C) 2018 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
