ZnO thin films doped with aluminum (AZO) were deposited on silicon dioxide covered type texturized Si substrates by radio frequency magnetron sputtering, to fabricate AZO/SiO2/p-Si heterojunction, as an absorber for ultraviolet cell. The microstructure, optical and electrical properties of the Al-doped ZnO films were characterized by XRD, SEM, UV-VIS spectrophotometer, current-voltage measurement, and four point probe technique, respectively. The results show that AZO films are of good quality. The electrical junction properties were investigated by I-V measurement, which reveals that the heterojunction shows rectifying behavior under a dark condition. The ideality factor and the saturation current of this diode are 24.42 and 8.92×10-5 A, respectively. And the values of IF/IR (IF and IR stand for forward and reverse current, respectively) at 10 V are found to be as high as 38. It shows fairly good rectifying behavior indicating formation of a diode between AZO and p-Si.
