Combinatorial studies of Zn-Al-O and Zn-Sn-O transparent conducting oxide thin films
In this work, we discuss the development of combinatorial deposition and analysis tools for the investigation of and the optimization of transparent conducting oxides.

Summary: | In this work, we discuss the development of combinatorial deposition and analysis tools for the investigation of and the optimization of transparent conducting oxides. Library deposition by co-sputtering followed by optical analysis is shown to be a facile way to achieve these goals. Initial work focused on Zn-Al-O libraries with low Al contents as a test case. Subsequent work has focused on the ZnO-SnO
2 tie line. Local maxima in the composition dependence of the conductivity were found for Zn/Sn ≈2:1 (Zn
2SnO
4) and Zn/Sn ≈1:1 (ZnSnO
3). For these two representative stoichiometries, constant composition films have also been grown by pulsed laser deposition. |
