Optical and electrical properties of In-doped CdO thin films fabricated by pulse laser deposition
TL;DR: In this article, a transparent indium-doped cadmium oxide (In-CdO) thin film was deposited on quartz glass substrates by pulse laser deposition (PLD) from ablating Cd-In metallic target at a fixed pressure 10 ÂPa and a fixed substrate temperature 300 ÂC. The influences of indium concentrations in target on the microstructure, optical and electrical performances were studied.
