Research Update: Inhomogeneous aluminium dopant distribution in magnetron sputtered ZnO:Al thin films and its influence on their electrical properties
The spatial distribution of Al in magnetron sputtered ZnO:Al films has been investigated in depth. Two different kinds of inhomogeneities were observed: an enrichment in the bulk of the film and an enrichment at the interface to the substrate. This has been correlated to the electrical properties of...
