Al doped ZnO thin films (ZnO:Al) were deposited on poly carbonate (PC) substrate by rf magnetron sputtering. In addition, the electrical, optical properties of the films prepared at various conditions were investigated. As the sputter power increased, the resistivity of ZnO:Al films decreased, regardless of substrate types. However, the resistivity of the films increased with the sputter pressure. The ZnO:Al films were increasingly dark gray colored as the sputter power increased, resulting in the loss of transmittance. High quality films with resistivity as low as 1.43${ imes}$10$^{-4}$ Ω-cm and transmittance over 80 % have been obtained by suitably controlling the deposition parameters.
