Aluminum doped zinc-oxide (AZO) thin films have been deposited on corning 1737 glass by using
a dc magnetron sputtering method. In this experiment, we studied the various properties of AZO
films under the influence of the oxygen content in the deposited films. We investigated the structural
and the electrical properties of AZO films by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy (XPS), and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS).We find that the electrical
properties of the AZO thin film strongly depend on the oxygen concentration. The resistivity is
drastically increased with increasing oxygen content in the thin films.
