The doped ZnO film is a new type of transparent and conductive oxide (TCO) material which was widely studied by the researchers because of its potential candidate to replace the ITO. There are a lot of potential applications in the liquid crystal devices
solar cells
et al
due to its excellent electrical and optical properties. Compared to the previous works
the latest developments of the n-type and p-type ZnO semiconductors in the past two years were summarized and future works were indicated and discussed in this paper.
