Abstract

A detailed study of zinc oxide (ZnO) films prepared by filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) technique was carried out. To deposit the films, a pure zinc target was used and O 2 was fed into the chamber. The electrical properties of both undoped and Al-doped ZnO films were studied, For preparing the Al-doped films, a Zn-Al alloy target with 5 wt % Al was used. The resistivity, Hall mobility and carrier concentration of the samples were measured. The lowest resistivity that can be achieved with undoped ZnO films was 3.4×10 -3 Ωcm, and that for Aldoped films was 8×10 -4 Ωcm. The carrier concentration was found to increase with Al doping.
