Al-doped ZnO thin films were prepared by ink-jet printing and their electrical and thermal properties with different amounts of Al doping and sintering atmosphere were investigated. The XRD traces of films show the doped materials did not form additional crystalline phases with increasing amounts of Al doping. Electrical conductivity of film increased from 4.86 S/cm to 120.94 S/cm as the amounts of Al doping increased from 0 wt% to 4 wt%. However, the thermal conductivity decreased from 24 W/mK to 13 W/mK with increasing the Al doping from 0 wt% to 4 wt%. The electrical conductivity of film shows higher values sintered in vacuum (120.94 S/cm) compared to film sintered in air (114.1 S/cm).

ABSTRACTStructural and electronic transport properties of polycrystalline ZnO thin films, prepared by pulsed laser deposition, have been investigated. The films were deposited on glass and Si3N4/Si substrates using O2 and N2 atmospheres. X-ray analysis revealed preferential c-axis orientation perpendicular to the sample substrate. Films deposited under relatively high O2 pressure were highly resistive. However, the conductivity σ increased while the films were irradiated with ultraviolet light, showing an Arrhenius (In σ ∝ T-1) dependence as a function of temperature. The ZnO film deposited in N2 atmosphere exhibited at room temperature a resistivity ∼ 1 Ω cm, and a sheet carrier concentration ∼ 5 1012 cm-2. The variation of the conductivity with temperature, in the range 60 – 150 K, follows a In σ ∝ T-1/4 dependence characteristic of variable range hopping. An analysis of the experimental results of conductivity as a function of temperature, in terms of possible doping effects, as well as conduction mechanisms is presented.
