Abstract
Spray pyrolysis technique was used to deposit chromium-doped zinc oxide thin films. 15 at. % of chromium in solution was used. A low etching rate on ZnO:Cr thin films was obtained as compared to undoped ZnO under diluted HCl. A high resistivity is shown by As-deposited and vacuum-annealed films. X ray diffraction do not show the presence of extra phases. A low incorporation efficiency of chromium into the ZnO films is observed. The films are adequate for transparent and protective coatings because of high transmittance.
