Realization of high mobility in conductivity in TCO- A detailed study.

What is it about?

Transparent Conducting Oxides(TCO) are semiconducting oxides usually transparent to visible light, but can be doped extrinsically or intrinsically to tune the band gap. Realization of good conducting TCO has been part of long term investigation. This paper reports the realization of this through deposition of highly conducting undoped p and n type CIO by oxygen- plasma enhanced reactive evaporation. The unusually high mobility suggests its potential use in transparent electronics.

Why is it important?

This is the first paper on detailed investigation of the conductivity mechanism in highly conducting transparent semiconducting delafossite-Copper Indium Oxide.
