Combinatorial Exploration of Novel Transparent Conducting Oxide Materials

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

Abstract

High-throughput combinatorial approaches have been used for the discovery and optimization of transparent conducting oxide (TCO) materials for PV applications. We report on current investigations in In-Zn-O, In-Ti-O and In-Mo-O systems. The InZnO system is shown to be amorphous in the best conducting range with a conductivity of~ 3000 ohm-cm-1 for 50%-70% In/Zn. The amorphous InZnO films arevery smooth (2 ..ANG.. rms). In-Ti-O is found to be an excellent high-mobility TCO with mobilities of greater than 80 cm2/v-sec and conductivities of more than 6000 ohm-cm-1 for sputtered thin film materials.
