Na-doped ZnCdO films [ZCO:Na] were grown on quartz substrates at different ratios of argon to oxygen gas flow (Ar:O2) by the radio frequency magnetron sputtering method. The influence of Ar:O2ratio on structure, electrical and optical properties was investigated by using X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Transmission electron microscopy, Hall measurements (Hall), optical absorption spectra and Photoluminescence. Results indicated that all obtained ZCO:Na thin films possess the hexagonal wurtzite structure and free from the formation of secondary phases. As the Ar:O2ratios change from 1:5 to 5:1, at first the Egincreases with the Ar:O2ratios increasing and reaches a maximum value at the Ar:O2ratio of 1:1, then decreases evidently with the Ar:O2ratios increasing continually. It is found that the lower Ar:O2ratio is propitious to obtain n-type ZCO:Na film, while the relative higher Ar:O2ratio is required to obtain p-type ZCO:Na thin films. When the Ar:O2ratio is 1:1, the ZCO:Na film shows the best p-type conduction characteristics, which has a hole concentration of 1.13 × 1016cm−3, Hall mobility of 2.54 cm2V−1s−1and resistivity of 2.53 × 102Ω cm. In addition, the mechanism of the influence of Ar:O2ratio on the electrical and optical properties of the film as well as the mechanism of p-type conductivity was discussed in this work.
