dc.description.abstract | In the present thesis deposition and characterization of transparent
conducting oxides (TCOs) have been explored. The coexistence of
transparency and conductivity in a material is often regarded as an unusual
property, since transparent materials are most likely to be insulating while
conductive materials are generally quite absorbing. This remarkable
property can be easily achieved in wide band gap semiconductors, for which
a band gap higher than 3 eV ensures transparency to the visible light while
conductivity can be induced by doping, either intrinsic or extrinsic. Among
the TCOs, n-type doping has been so far the most successful. In2O3:Sn,
SnO2:F and ZnO:Al are the most commonly used n-type TCOs in
commercial devices. | |
