Abstract
Transparent conducting Al-doped ZnO thin films were prepared on glass substrates by spin coating method. The effects of
an annealing treatment on electrical and optical properties were investigated for 1.5 atomic percentage of aluminum. The
average optical transmittance of 90 % in the visible range was obtained exploring the potential of these films for transparent
electronics. The minimum electrical resistivity of 0.247 Ω cm was obtained. We realize the optical band gap of 3.3 eV for 1.5
atomic percentage of aluminum.
