摘要: Boron-doped zinc oxide (BZO) thin films have been fabricated by spray pyrolysis on a glass substrate. The morphology and electrical properties of the were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses performed. It was found that [B]/[Zn] ratio altered both microstructure concentration BZO films. film grain size reduced increasing ratio. highest Hall mobility 3.65 cm2 V-1 s-1 for undoped ZnO film, carrier 1.0×1019 cm-3 achieved as-deposited with = 1.5 at. %. Conductivity determined at different measurement temperatures shallow donors provided dominate conduction mechanism After 600 °C annealing, level reduction high activation energy 129±6 meV in characterized, spray-pyrolized eliminated.
