Abstract

We report the fabrication and characterization of zinc-indium-oxide films with similar electrical conductivity and better transparency in both the visible and infrared compared with indium-tin-oxide, a widely used transparent conductor in many technological applications. Dramatically superior transmission properties in the 1-1.5 μm range in particular make zinc-indium-oxide attractive for use in infrared devices, where transparent electrodes are required. Resisitivities as low as 400 μΩ cm result from doping with small quantities of Sn; Al, Ga, and Ge are also effective dopants. Deposition on glass and quartz substrates as amorphous films by pulsed laser deposition and dc reactive sputtering is described.
