Electrical Properties of Nanostructured Aluminum Doped Zinc Oxide (ZnO) Thin Film Prepared Using Sol-Gel Spin-Coating Method at Different Doping Concentrations

Article Preview

Abstract:

Aluminum (Al) doped Zinc Oxide (ZnO) thin films were prepared using sol-gel spin-coating method at different doping concentrations. The effects of Al doping concentration at 0~5 at.% on the Al doped ZnO thin film properties have been investigated. The thin films were characterized using Current-Voltage (I-V) measurement and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) for electrical properties and surface morphology, respectively. The I-V measurement result indicated electrical properties of Al doped ZnO thin film improved with Al doping. The FESEM investigations show that the nanoparticles size becomes smaller and denser as the doping concentration increase.
