Influence of substrate temperature on the structural, electrical and optical properties of Al-doped ZnO films by RF magnetron sputtering Yihua SUN1, a, Chenhui LI2, b, Weihao XIONG2 and Caihua Huang1 1College of Mechanical and Material Engineering, China Three Gorges University, Yichang 443002, China 2State Key Laboratory of Material Processing and Die & Mould Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430074, China asunyihua316181@163.com, bli_chenhui@sohu.com Keywords: Al-doped ZnO; Magnetron sputtering; Deposition temperature; Transparent conducting oxide Abstract.
Introduction Transparent conducting oxide (TCO) films are novel function materials which have been widely used in high-technology, military and civilian applications, such as transparent electrodes of solar cells, flat panel devices and the like, especially for indium tin oxides films (ITO) [1-3].
Recently many “non-In” materials such as Al-doped ZnO film (AZO film) have attracted much attention as an alternative material of ITO due to its cheap and abundant raw materials, non toxicity, and good stability in hydrogen plasma [2-4].
A sintered ceramic sputter target with a mixture of ZnO (99.99% purity) and Al2O3 (99.99% purity) was employed as source material.

For quasi-brittle materials (rock, concrete, ice, cement, mortar, masonry and ceramic, etc), size effect can be observed in tests, such as uniaxial and multiaxial compressions, direct and indirect tensions, direct and simple shear, torsion, and threepoint bending.
Shear strain localization or shear band (SB) with a certain thickness can be observed in many tests for quasi-brittle materials.
After localization is initiated, the quasi-brittle material outside SB is still elastic and unloads elastically according to the elastic modulus E .
