Properties of Al-Doped Zinc Oxide and In-Doped Zinc Oxide Bilayer Transparent Conducting Oxides towards Solar Cell Applications

Novel aluminum and indium doped zinc oxide bilayer transparent conducting oxide thin films have been developed by simple sol gel spin coating and annealed at 500 C for an hour under nitrogen ambient towards solar cell applications. The structural, electrical and optical properties of both the as deposited and annealed bilayer thin films are characterized. X-ray diffraction studies showed a hexagonal wurtzite-type structure of ZnO with (002) orientation, which was enhanced with annealing. In atomic force microscopy studies minimum surface roughness is attained for the Al-doped ZnO/In-doped ZnO bilayer TCO films. The best Al-doped ZnO/In-doped ZnO films had sheet resistance of 0.057 M ohm/square and the films had an average transmittance in the visible region over 90%. Further results are discussed with single and bilayer structure.
