Novel aluminum and indium doped zinc oxide bilayer transparent conducting oxide thin films have been developed by simple sol gel spin coating and annealed at 500 C for an hour under nitrogen ambient towards solar cell applications. The structural, electrical and optical properties of both the as deposited and annealed bilayer thin films are characterized. X-ray diffraction studies showed a hexagonal wurtzite-type structure of ZnO with (002) orientation, which was enhanced with annealing. In atomic force microscopy studies minimum surface roughness is attained for the Al-doped ZnO/In-doped ZnO bilayer TCO films. The best Al-doped ZnO/In-doped ZnO films had sheet resistance of 0.057 M ohm/square and the films had an average transmittance in the visible region over 90%. Further results are discussed with single and bilayer structure.
