abstrac In this thesis, preparation and investigation of pure and Aluminum doped Zinc Oxide for use as traarent conductive oxide films of solar cells thin films. Thus, ZnO and AZO thin films (0, 3, 6 and 12 molar%) prepared by spincoating method and sol gel process on glass substrates. After sample preparation, the effect of annealing temperature, the dopping Al and laser irradiation on surface of films investigated. Study of structural properties of the samples, confirmed hexagonal wurtzite for ZnO thin film annealed at it above 400 °C. XRD spectra of samples indicated, the improvement in structural properties with increasing annealing temperature and after laser beam interacts with the sample surface. Also, this spectrum confirmed increasing in amorphous phase and decreasing in crystalline size with increased in Al content. Surface morphology of samples studied by atomic force microscopy and field emission scanning electron. Optical transmission spectra analysis investigated for all samples, transmission over 80 %. Also, calculated the band gap energy of ZnO and AZO thin films showed the effect of various parameters on the band gap energy changes. PL spectra of the samples comfirmed the existence of structural defects such as oxygen vacancies and and interstitials Zn and showed the increasing in electron donors after laser irradiation. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, showed oxygen vacancies for sample with 6 % molar Al before and after laser irradiation. Real-time measurement of electrical conductivity during laser irradiation showed a transient photocoductivity effect for 0 at. % Al and annealing temperature below 450 °C and persistent conductivity for 500 °C. Moreover, a persistent conductivity was observed for almost all the AZO films. For each sample types (0-12 at. % Al) the persistent photoconductivity was higher at 500 °C. while, the sample with 6% Al showed a high conductivity even at 450 °C. Reduce the electrical resistance of samples was attributed to create the electron donors after laser radiation.
