Abstract

Traditional transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) have been widely used for various optoelectronic applications, but have the trade-off between conductivity and transmittance. Recently, perovskite oxides, with structural and chemical stability, have exhibited excellent physical properties as new TCOs. We focus on SrVO₃-based perovskites with a high carrier concentration and BaSnO₃-based perovskites with a high mobility for n-type TCOs. In addition, p-type perovskites are discussed, which can serve as potential future options to couple with n-type perovskites to design full perovskite based devices.

Keywords: BaSnO3; Perovskite oxide; Semiconductor; SrVO3; Transparent conducting oxide.
