Recent Progress in the Transparent Conducting Oxide Thin Films

Abstract

  An overview on the recent progresses in transparent conducting oxide thin films of In₂O₃, ZnO and TiO₂ concludes with a proposal that encourages the re-examination of the action and reaction of dopants with the host lattice in order to establish the deposition conditions that suppress the formation of undesirable defects in terms of carrier generation and mobility enhancement.
