Abstract

Aluminisum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) films are attractive materials as transparent conductive electrode because they are inexpensive, nontoxic and abundant element compared with indium tin oxide (ITO). In our paper, AZO films have been deposited on glass (coming 1737) substrates by RF magnetron sputtering. The AZO film was post-annealed at $600^{\circ}C$, $800^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr with $N_2$ atmosphere, respectively. We investigated that the electric properties and qualitative analysis of AZO films, which measured using the methods of Hall effect, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
