Progress in the Synthesis and Application of Transparent Conducting Film of AZO (ZnO:Al)

Due to the excellent performance and low cost of new aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) film, it is expected replace mature indium-doped tin (ITO) film. The research status progress AZO transparent conductive films are summarized in this review. Moreover, structure, optoelectronic properties, mechanism thin also detailed. films’ main preparation processes advantages disadvantages each process method mainly discussed, their application fields expounded. with multicomponent composite structures one promising development directions (TCO) films. various has promoted production on a broad scale. Finally, some improvement schemes have been proposed improve comprehensive industrialization prospects as well its great potential digital world, discussed.
