ABSTRACT

Al-doped ZnO (ZnO:Al) films used as ohmic contacts for thin-film solar cells were obtained by magnetron sputtering at room temperature on glass substrates. The effect of humidity and thermal treatment in air on electrical and optical properties of ZnO:Al films was studied. It was determined that when the temperature is increased from 2500C to 3000C, the electrical resistance of the films increases by two orders of magnitude.

Keywords: solar cells, ZnO:Al, magnetron sputtering, thin films.
