Abstract

We have prepared 2% Al doped ZnO (AZO) thin films on SrTiO₃ and Al₂O₃ substrates by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) technique at various deposition temperatures (T_dep = 300 °C - 600 °C). Transport and thermoelectric properties of AZO thin films were studied in low temperature range (300 K - 600 K). AZO/STO films present superior performance respect to AZO/Al₂O₃ films deposited at the same temperature, except for films deposited at 400 °C. Best film is the fully c-axis oriented AZO/STO deposited at 300 °C, with electrical conductivity 310 S/cm, Seebeck coefficient -65 uV/K and power factor 0.13 × 10^-3 Wm^-1K^-2 at 300 K. Its performance increases with temperature. For instance, power factor is enhanced up to × 10^-3 Wm^-1K^-2 at 600 K, surpassing the best AZO film previously reported in literature.
