In this study, ZnO and GeO2 cosubstituted In2O3 ternary system is investigated with various characterization methods for optical, electrical and structural properties. This new transparent conducting oxide prepared different composition which can be symbolized as ZnxIn2-2xGexO3 samples optical properties show increasing increase the optical gap from 2.94 eV to 3.16 eV. Conductivity values for is about 308 S/cm and 1060 S/cm for unreduced and reduced samples respectively. The reduced conductivity of Zn0.476In1.032Ge0.476O3 is about 135 S/cm and for this composition samples are phase pure for new fluorite related phase. Thus, this study stresses the importance of cosubstitution to decrease amount of indium and understanding the various results for bulk samples.
