  • Abstract
    Polycrystalline ZnO thin films doped with Al are used as transparent conducting oxide (TCO) for solar cells. For such applications, it is necessary to have control on the contact resistance with metals. In this project, we observed the variation of contact resistance of Au/Ti to Al-doped ZnO thin films with sheet resistance.
