Introduction Transparent Conductive Oxides (TCOs) are pivotal materials in the field of modern technology, bridging the gap between optical transparency and electrical conductivity. Among these, Aluminum-doped Zinc Oxide (AZO) stands out as a particularly efficient TCO, offering a combination of transparency, conductivity, and affordability that is crucial for a variety of applications ranging from solar...Continue Reading

What is an AZO Sputtering Target? AZO sputtering targets are also referred to as aluminum-doped zinc oxide sputtering targets. Aluminum-doped zinc oxide is a transparent conducting oxide. This oxide is insoluble in water but is thermally stable. AZO sputtering targets are typically used for thin-film deposition. Doping is a process that involves intentionally adding impurities...Continue Reading
