In this work, the influence of Al (Aluminum) dopant concentration on the properties of Aldoped ZnO (AZO) films synthesized by reactive High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HiPIMS), and deposited from Zn/Al targets with 1, 2, 5, 10 or 15 at.% Al is studied. It is observed that the Al content has a strong influence on the reactive sputtering process, as it is easier to sputter-deposit at high rates from targets containing lower Al contents. This is explained by the high reactivity of Al towards oxygen, which easily poisons the target surface with Al oxide more difficult to etch upon bombardment by ions from the plasma phase. Films have been synthesized in the 0.56-14.71 at.% Al range, where the film structure and microstructure evolves fr...
