Title: Deposition and characterization of transparent conductive oxide films
Abstract: 
Transparent conductive oxides (TCO) are important electrical contact materials which have great potential applications in the fabrication of modern electronic and optoelectronic devices. For instance, by utilizing TCO to replace traditional metal electrodes in optoelectronic devices, higher electronic and optical performances may be obtained because of higher light transmittance and reduced transverse series resistance. Recently, the deposition of TCO on different substrates including GaN and the characteristics of formed TCO/GaN heterostructure have attracted a great deal of interest.
In this talk, the deposition and characterization of TCO thin films, including GaZnO and ITO are presented. It is found that the optical and electrical properties of the formed heterostructures are strongly dependent on not only different types of substrates, but also the deposition conditions and parameters of GaZnO and ITO materials as well as post-deposition treatments. Our systematic studies provide solid experimental data and leads to some progress in understanding of TCO thin films and TCO/GaN heterostructures. In addition, selected device applications of the fabricated TCO/GaN heterostructures are discussed.
