Abstract
Transparent electrodes made of transparent conductive oxides materials are widely used in optoelectronic devices. The zirconium doped tin oxide films as transparent conductive oxides were prepared by spin-coating technique. The morphology, structure, optical properties and electrical properties of the tin oxide thin films were investigated as a function of zirconium doping concentration. The results show that the films crystallize with a tetragonal rutile structure. And the surfaces of all the films are free of cracks. The average transmittance of the tin oxide films can be reached up to 96% in the visible region by incorporating zirconium, and the optical band gap of samples varies from 3.88â¯eV to 3.95â¯eV with the increasing zirconium doping concentration. The tin oxide films with 1â¯at.% zirconium doping show the lowest resistivity (2.91â¯Ãâ¯10â2â¯Î©â¯cm) and high carrier concentration (4.39â¯Ãâ¯1019â¯cmâ3) with mobility (4.90â¯cm2/V) via Hallâeffectâmeasurementâsystem.
