ABSTRACTZn0.90Co0.10O and Zn0.85[Co0.50Fe0.50]0.15O targets were used to grow thin films by rf magnetron sputtering. XRD patterns of the films showed a strong preferred orientation along c-axis. Zn0.90Co0.10O film showed a transmittance above 75% in the visible range, while the transmittance of the Zn0.85[Co0.50Fe0.50]0.15O film was about 45%; with three absorption peaks attributed to d-d transitions of tetrahedrally coordinated Co2+. The band gap values for Zn0.90Co0.10O and Zn0.85[Co0.50Fe0.50]0.15O films were 2.95 and 2.70 eV respectively, which are slightly less than ZnO bulk. The Zn0.90Co0.10O film showed a relatively large positive magnetoresistance (MR) at the high magnetic field in the temperature range from 7 to 50 K, which reached 11.9% a 7K for the magnetoresistance. The lowest MR was found at 100 K. From M-H curve measured at room temperature shown a probable antiferromagnetic behavior, although was possible to observe little coercive field of 30 Oe and 40 Oe for Zn0.90Co0.10O and Zn0.85[Co0.50Fe0.50]0.15O films, respectively.

Abstract Aluminum doped ZnO thin films (AZO), which simultaneously transmit light and conduct electrical current, are widely applied in photovoltaic devices. To achieve high performance AZO thin films, the effects of RF magnetron sputtering conditions on the optical and electrical properties of the films has been explored. The optimized AZO thin films exhibit strong (002) orientated growth with hexagonal wurtzite structure. The minimum resistivity of 0.9Í10-3 Ω·cm, the highest carrier concentration of 2.8Í1020 cm-3, the best Hall mobility of 22.8 cm2·(V·s)-1 and average transmittance above 85% can be achieved at the optimum deposition condition of 0.2 Pa, 120 W and 200 °C. Considering the single parabolic band model, the bandgap shift by carrier concentration of the films can be attributed to the Burstein-Moss effect. The results indicate that RF magnetron sputtered AZO thin films are promising for solar cell applications relying on front contact layers.
