  • Abstract
    A study of the effect of technology parameters (sputtering power, substrate temperature and post-deposition annealing) on structural, electrical and optical properties of aluminium-doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films was carried out. The optimal technology parameters of preparation were found to get necessary properties of AZO thin films for application in solar cells - the high figure of merit (F ? 4 %/?), low electrical sheet resistance (Rs ? 10 ?/square) and high optical transmittance (T ? 82%, including the glass substrate).
