We investigated the structural, optical, and electrical properties of molybdenum and zirconium-doped zinc oxide (ZZO) with a purity of 99.99% deposited on a glass substrate by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering and annealed at different temperatures. The doping amount of zirconium on ZnO was 3 wt%. The optimal resistivity of the multilayers, 5.1 × 10−3 Ω-cm, was observed for an annealing temperature of 400 °C. This film also had the highest transmittance of 93%. Moreover, the optimal figure of merit, 4.6 × 10−6 Ω−1, was observed for an annealing temperature of 400 °C. Furthermore, the grain size also increased with the annealing temperature, as observed by scanning electron microscopy. Mo/ZZO multilayer thin films with such excellent optical and electrical properties can be applied in photosensors.
