Knowing the dielectric function of a material for optoelectronic applications is essential for efficient device design and simulation. We investigated the contributions of different optical transitions in aluminum doped zinc oxide deposited by atomic layer deposition to a model dielectric function (MDF) over a wide range of photon energy. We found strong evidence for band gap narrowing due to aluminum doping and intrinsic defects and impurities. The derived MDF strongly depends on the actual band structure and therefore describes the dielectric properties very accurately. The presented MDF is solely based on physical parameters, in contrast to empirical models like e.g. widely used Sellmeier equation. This allows determining key electronic parameters like the band gap or even charge carrier lifetimes.
