Abstract

Gallium doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Ga) transparent conducting oxide (TCO) films were prepared by the helicon-waveexcited plasma sputtering (HWPS) method. The films deposited at higher than 150 °C showed a preferential {0001}-oriented growth. A high optical transmittance greater than 80% was obtained in the wavelength range between 400 and 1600 nm, because the HWPS method essentially does not damage the surface of the films. The results indicate that ZnO:Ga films deposited by the HWPS method can be used as a TCO film.
