Location-Optoelectronic Property Correlation in ZnO:Al Thin Film by RF Magnetron Sputtering and Its Photovoltaic Application

In this study, a radio-frequency magnetron sputter system was used to deposit Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> doped ZnO (AZO) thin films at room temperature, and the soda lime glass (SLG) substrates were placed at different zones relative to the center of the sample holder under...
