ABSTRACT In this research we has investigated synthesis and electrical properties of ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) thin layers doping Aluminum (Al) and ZnO with spin-coating technique through sol-gel process and calcined at ±550 ºC for 1 hour. Effect of Al and ZnO doping on the conductivity of ITO with 0%, 1%, 3% and 5% w/v dopant concentration and the number of coating (4 and 5 layers) has reported. ITO-Al has 2 phases, these are rhombohedral and cubic, the crystal size is 67.31 nm. Meanwhile, ITO-ZnO are rhombohedral, cubic (bixbyite) and hexagonal (wurtzite), with crystallite size value was 67.4 nm. The surface morphology data indicated film thickness was 3.4 µm (ITO-Al) and 0.974 nm (ITO-ZnO). The electrical properties shows that the optimum film in 4 layers coating with the addition of 5% doping value was 17 kΩ/cm2 (ITO-Al) and 5-layered by addition of 5% of doping ZnO (80.800 kΩ/cm2). Meanwhile, ITO-Al thin film with 4 layers coating without doping was 9.331 kΩ / cm2, and for ITO-ZnO (5 layers) coating without doping was 11.796 kΩ/cm2. Al and ZnO doping decrease the electrical conductivity of ITO. Keywords : ITO, Sol-gel, Spin-coating, Thin film, Al and ZnO doping
INTRODUCTION Indium Tin Oxide thin film, has a high transparency in the visible region and low electrical resistivity(1). ITO thin film composed of In2O3 doped with SnO2. Based on Alam research the addition of 10% SnO2 can improve the conductivity of ITO thin film, so that it has a low resistivity(2). Thus, ITO thin film has a band gap larger than 3.5 eV and has transparent properties in visible light region(3). ITO film is usually in the form of amorphous and have low conductivity at low temperatures, so high heating temperature needed to modify the optical properties, electrical, and crystal structure. The resistivity will be reduced by increasing the calcination temperature above 400oC(4). The higher the calcination temperature, the electrical conductivity will be better. Transparent Conducting Oxide (TCO) glass is a material coated by a metal oxide, which has optical transparency in the area of the electromagnetic spectrum and have electrical conductivity. ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) is a type of TCO which has transparency properties and high electrical conductivity(5). The combination of these properties causes ITO thin film has been used in the development of today's technology such as LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), LED (Light Emitting diodes), solar cells, optoelectronics, gas sensors(6). Improved the performance of ITO thin film becomes an important topic to explore both on an industrial scale and on a laboratory scale considering the necessary for the use of the ITO thin film in daily life. One of the aspects that can improve the performance of the ITO thin film is the addition of doping, such as the insertion of other atoms in a semiconductor that aims to change the value of conductivity(7) Zainul et al reported Al metal have potentially as negative charge carrier in surface of material(8), so that can considerate as doping in

material. Doping acts to minimize the width of the band gap so that the energy required for the excitation of electrons from the valence band to the conduction band getting smaller(9). Some of metals and oxides can use as dopant, such as Fe, Cu, Ni, Al, ZnO, TiO2 and almost all oxides. In this research, ZnO and Al metal use as dopant for ITO. ZnO used as doping in this study because according to Suprayogi, ZnO is a compound that is not toxic, readily available, resistant to radiation and high termal stability(10). In addition, ZnO has a wide band gap of 3.37 eV (at a temperature of 300K)(11). The addition of a new band of ZnO on ITO band gap will cause a decrease in the amount of energy required to electrons excitation from the valence band to the conduction band, so that it can increase the electrical conductivity of ITO(9). The ITO film deposition using metal doping of group IIIA, among the group IIIA metal is aluminum (Al) (12). The function of aluminum doping is to increasing the value of the conductivity of ITO by occupying space in the structure of ITO and substituting Al atoms in the structure of ITO. Conductivity value of aluminum is 3.8 x 107 (Ω-m)-1. According to Rosa (2009) aluminum is very easy to join and produce a low barrier (12). In order to produce high electrical conductivity of the ITO doped ZnO and Al thin film, there are several parameters that should be modified include the formation of a material element composition, crystal size and thickness of the coating(13). The composition of the elements is one of the factors that determine the success of the preparation of the ITO doped ZnO and Al thin film, therefore in this study the influence of the composition of which will be seen by varying the doping concentration of ZnO and Al on the ITO precursor. Intake of the Al and ZnO doping concentration variation refers to the study Hoong, these are 0%, 1%, 3%, and 5%(14). Thin film preparation are also greatly influenced by the thickness layer factor. Preliminary research that has been conducted by the author and supported by research of Daoudi showed that the number of coating layers effect on the electrical conductivity produced in which the use of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 layers obtained better conditions at 4 and 5 layers(15). The results of the study being a reference for the ITO doped ZnO and Al thin film number of coating variation. There are several deposition methods for the preparation of thin film, including facing target sputtering, dc magnetron sputtering, sol-gel process(10; 16; 17). Sol-gel method have the advantages among others due to the deposition process is simple, the cost of making thin film is cheaper, can be used for the manufacture of thin film with a large area without the use of expensive and complex equipment(18). Sol-gel method consist of some coating techniques, these are spin-coating, dip-coating (19) and spray-coating(20). Comparison of the three techniques, the author uses spin-coating technique in the preparation of the ITO doped ZnO and Al thin film because it has the advantage of relatively cheaper cost, more homogeneous, lower process temperatures(21). Spin-coating merupakan suatu teknik untuk mendeposisikan lapisan tipis yaitu melalui percepatan larutan pada substrat yang diputar. Proses spin-coating dilakukan dengan menggunakan alat spin-coater berkecepatan tinggi dalam jangka waktu tertentu. Semakin cepat putaran, akan diperoleh lapisan tipis yang semakin homogen dan tipis(22). To determine the properties of the ITO doped ZnO and Al thin film is carried out characterization by SEM, XRD and digital multimeter. SEM is used to observe the surface morphology and thickness of the film layer. XRD is used to specify the existent phases and crystal size. The resistivity of the ITO doped ZnO and Al thin film is measured using a digital multimeter, where the measurement is performed under direct sunlight.

magnification SEM characterization results shown in Figure 3 (a) and (c) shows that the thin layer of ITO-ZnO 5% and ITO-Al 5% by particles deposited ITO-ZnO 5% and ITO-Al 5% hardly spread but still formed aggregates or clusters of crystals ITO-ZnO 5% and ITO-Al 5% and some particle size. SEM results showed the limitations of cracks and formation of aggregates on the surface of deposition results. It was by the presence of air bubbles on the surface of the substrate during the hydrolysis process of drying or low temperature, the greater deposition temperature, bring on the film surface become more homogeneous, so aggregate will be reduced and the gelatin process accur in quickly and made the particle tied on glass substrate first before its spread. The process of layer fabrication was influent by low rate of conventional spin-coater. The thickness of thin film can be determined by SEM figure 3 (b) and (d), where in transverse position (cross-section) at 2000 times magnification the average of thickness is ± 3,4 µm (ITO-Al) and 0.974 µm (ITO-ZnO). Cheong was reported in general the thin layer have 100-200 nm thickness(6). It was indicated that formation of thin layer is thick. The thicker thin layer was produced will make the decreasing of thin layer transmittance. The results of measurements on thin-layer ITO multimeter without doping are shown in Table 1.

When compared to the conductivity of a thin layer ITO-Al coating between 4 and 5 layers the coating, it can be seen that the constraints generated by a thin layer with 4 times coating the coating has a lower barrier than 5 layers the coating. This is caused of the greater number of layers to achieve the optimum conditions the better electrical, the highest conductivity of thin film at 4 times coating with Al doping 5% the result is 17 kΩ/ cm2. The addition effect of the addition of Al and ZnO doping on the electrical resistance value of ITO thin film can be described in Figure 4.

The fabrication of a thin layer of ITO-Al 5% have been successfully carried out, but the resulting electrical conductivity was low. In general, addition of doping will increase the conductivity of ITO. Sistesya reported this is caused by decreasing the band gap of material for excitation of electron (15).

will make the band gap became small and the photon energy for excite the electron will decrease, and the conductivity will increase. ITO have 3.5 eV band gap, and ZnO have 3.37 eV band gap.
Based on Figure 4, addition ZnO doping (1%) can decrease the conductivity from 9.331 kΩ/cm2 to 4.74 kΩ/cm2 (4 times coating), but after 5 times coating decrease to 6.070 kΩ/cm2. Formation of ITO-ZnO thin layer make the low conductivity, because modified spin-coater from magnetic stirrer have low spin (500 rpm). According Kesim, to make good thin film with the 1.5 kΩ/cm2, we need spin velocity is 1000 rpm(20). The high anguler velocity from spin coater will make distribution of matter homogenously and will increase the optical and electrical properties.
Effect of calcination in innert condition is improve formation of material. In this case, N2 gas will make sinthesis in innert condition so that the formation thin layer will free from contaminants. N2 gas will be function initiate ITO percusor formation. Beside that, InCl3.4H2O is high hygroscopic, so that will change bacame oxide metal when contact with atmosphere. In First mixing the material with dopants, there is not forming the valency between ITO and dopants, but only heteregenously mixture. This is indicated that ZnO is an isolator for ITO. An was reported that formation ITO thin layer under flow N2 gas by calcination was considerated by increasingly of oxygen vacancy concentration. It will make increase the charge carrier concentration and electrical conductivity was produced (3). Zainul et al reported that effect of calcination temperature in formation Cu2O/CuO which after calcination at 400 oC was obtained percent oxygen is 16.5 % and 500oC percent oxygen on the surface of the Cu plate is 15.27%. Increasing of oxygen on the surface of the plate, will lead to an increase in the photocatalytic ability of the semiconductor material, since the formation of the conduction band(25).
CONCLUSION This research has successfully to made a thin layer of ITO-Al dan ITO-ZnO with Spin-coating technique through Sol-Gel process, this is evidenced by the characterization of XRD, SEM and Multimeter. The optimum coating on a thin layer of ITO-Al accure at 4 times coating with the addition of 5% Al doped with electrical resistance generated is 17 kΩ/cm2.The value of electrical resistance of ITO layer is lower than the value of the electrical resistance of a thin layer of ITO-Al 5%, the doping of Al tends to lower the electrical conductivity of ITO glass. This indicates that the doping is less suitable to the ITO glass. The ITO thin film have smaller resistance than the ITO doped ZnO thin film. Doping ZnO tend to lower the value of the electrical conductivity of ITO material. Better conditions of the preparation of ITO doped ZnO thin film was 5 layers by the addition of 5% doping ZnO with resistance 80.8 kΩ /cm2.
