Doped ZnO is seen as a potential substitute to the expensive Sn doped
material, as a transparent electrode in optoelectronic devices. Here, highly
conductive and transparent Ga doped ZnO were prepared by chemical
vapor deposition. The lowest resistivity and highest carrier concentration
ever reported for CVD grown ZnO, Ga was achieved due to using oxygen
poor growth conditions enabled by diethylzinc and triethylgallium
precursors.
Physical properties like Electrical Conductivity of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) are
studied with different doping in it. The dopant to study the varying
physical properties of the ZnO semiconductor with respect to Gallium (Ga)
semiconductor with changing doping by weight percent of0, 1, 3 and 5
wt. % gallium doped ZnO system are reported here. The electrical
properties include dc electrical studies.

I. INTRODUCTION
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a large bandgap semiconducting
material with optoelectronic properties that is often
used as a transparent conducting oxide in photovoltaic
devices and are materials that display both high
visible light transparency and low electrical resistivity,
visible light transmittance, which is comparable to
commercially available and widely used. The
achievement, for the first time, of such low resistive
ZnO: Ga doped is important as an ambient pressure,
scalable and highly tunable technique that has
industrial importance used for the fabrication of wide
variety of thin film materials.
Semiconducting metal oxides are widely used as
inexpensive and robust sensor material for toxic,
hazardous and combustible gases and vapors in safety
and automotive applications. Few semiconducting
metal oxide materials used in these applications are
ZnO, SnO2, In2O3, Fe2O3, NiO, etc [1-11]. of which,
zinc oxide (ZnO), an n-type semiconductor that
displays a hexagonal crystalline wurtzitetype
structure, with space group P63mc. The importance of
ZnO is due to its unusual physical properties such as
high conductance, chemical and thermal stability,
