摘要: Abstract Aluminum doped ZnO thin films (ZnO:Al) deposited on flexible substrates are suitable to be used as transparent conductive oxide (TCO) in solar cells because of the excellent optical and electrical properties. TPT a kind composite materials usually encapsulation material panels. In this paper, ZnO:Al film was firstly substrate by RF magnetron sputtering. The structural, optical, properties were investigated X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), UV–visible spectrophotometer, well Hall Effect Measurement System. Results revealed that obtained had hexagonal structure highly preferred orientation with c -axis perpendicular substrate. Also, showed high transmittance over 80% visible region resistivity about 3.03 × 10 −  1  Ω·cm.
