Abstract

Zinc oxides doped with trivalent elements are known as an n-type transparent semiconductor. We have studied ion irradiation effects on electrical properties, atomic structure and optical properties of In-doped ZnO films. We have observed increase in the electrical conductivity and this is ascribed to ion-induced replacement of Zn on lattice site by In.
