Extract

The optical transparencies and electrical conductivities of thin films of In2O3 mixed with ZrO2 have been investigated. These films were deposited on glass substrates at room temperature using pulsed-laser deposition. Indium–zirconium oxide films with a ZrO2 content up to a 15 wt% were conducting and more than 80% transparent from 450 to 700 nm. As the ZrO2 content increased from 0 to 15 wt%, the electrical resistivities increased from 1.28 × 10−3 to 6.48 × 10−2 Ω cm, the carrier densities were decreased from 2.14 × 1020 to 1.0 × 1018/cm3, and the Hall mobilities decreased from 21 to 5 cm2 V−1 s−1, all monotonically.
