Method for depositing transparent conducting oxides

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1495042
A method of preparing light transmitting conducting metal oxide (TCO) films using atomic layer deposition (ALD) of a metal precursor multiple oxidizing reactants. The multiple metal oxidizing reactants may be selected to enhance growth of the TCO film. In a particular embodiment, an indium oxide TCO film is prepared using a cyclopentadienyl indium precursor and a combination of water and oxygen.
