Abstract

Extrinsically doped ZnO thin films are of interest due to their high electrical conductivity and transparency to visible light. In this study, P doped ZnO thin films were grown on glass substratesviaaerosol assisted chemical vapour deposition. The results show that P is a successful dopant for ZnO in the V+ oxidation state and is able to reduce resistivity to 6.0 × 10 −3Ω cm while maintaining visible light transmittance at ∼75%. The thins films were characterized by X-ray diffraction studies that showed only Bragg peaks for the wurtzite ZnO phase.
