Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of semiconductor optoelectronic material preparation, and in particular relates to a preparation method of a gallium-doped zinc oxide thin film, the prepared thin film and its application. Background technique [0002] Transparent conductive film is an optoelectronic material that combines optical transparency and electrical conductivity. Due to its excellent optoelectronic properties, it has become a research hotspot and a frontier topic in recent years. Although ITO film is currently the most widely used transparent conductive film material with excellent comprehensive photoelectric properties, indium is toxic, expensive, poor in stability, and easy to be reduced in a hydrogen plasma atmosphere. People are trying to find a low-cost It is an ITO replacement material with excellent performance. Among them, Ga-doped ZnO (GZO thin film for short) has the characteristics of cheap material, non-toxic, and electrical and ...
