Abstract: Zn1-xMgxO(0? x ?0.09)films are fabricated on quartz glass substrates by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering technique. The influence of varying Mg composition on the structure、optical and electrical properties of the Zn1- xMgx O films are investigated by x-ray diffractormeter (XRD), optical transmission measurement and Hall measurement. It is found that all the films show good crystallization with c -axis orientation and a high optical transparency ( ? 80%) in the visible region. A blue shift in absorption edge indicates that the band gap increased as the increase of Mg content. Considering the conduction-band shifts to higher energy and increasing the activation energy of the defect donor states, the relationship between carrier concentration and Mg content is calculated, which is in agreement with the consequence of Hall measurement. In addition, the conductivity become weak drastically when Mg composition ratio x up to 0.09 mainly due to the increasing activation energy of the defect donor states and a mass of impurity scattering.
