Abstract

In this study, transparent conducting oxide indium zinc oxide (IZO) thin films were deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) Process as a function of the deposition time on the glass substrates at $400^{\circ}C$. The crystal structures, electrical and optical properties of IZO films analyzed by XRD, AFM, and UV spectrometer. High quality IZO thin film with the resistivity of $9.1{\times}10^{-4}$ ohm cm and optical transmittance over 85% was obtained for sample when deposition time was 15min. Thin films with the preferred orientations along the c axis were observed as the deposition time increased.
