Keywords: Zr-doped ZnO, annealing temperature, optical property, electrical property

We investigated the effects of the annealing temperature on the optoelectronic properties of Zr-doped ZnO (ZZO) thin films deposited on glass substrates by radio frequency sputtering and annealed at 200, 300, and 400 °C. It was found by X-ray diffraction analysis that all the deposited thin films had a hexagonal crystal structure with polycrystalline grains oriented along the (0 0 2) direction. Furthermore, the film annealed at 400 ℃ had the lowest resistivity among the films due to the growth of grains, as well as the lowest resistivity of 1.5 × 10−2 Ω·cm, a mobility of 35 cm2V−1s−1, and a carrier concentration of 4.2 × 1019 cm−3. It also had a maximum transmittance of 95% and an energy gap of 3.2 eV. These results show that ZZO thin films subjected to annealing at 400 ℃ are promising for use as stable photosensors.
