The AZO transparent conductive films are prepared by the atomic layer deposition (ALD) at a low temperature of 150 °C. The different Al–Zn doping ratios were designed during the deposition. The phase structure of the films was characterized by XRD, the electrical properties of thin films were analyzed by the Holzer test, and the optical properties of thin films were analyzed by the UV-3600 (UV-VIS-NIR) spectrophotometer. The results showed that all the films preferred the orientation of the C axis during the growth process, the AZO films have a very low resistivity of 6.955×10−4 Ω·cm with the Al doping ratio by 2%, the deposition temperature is 150 °C and the thickness of the film is 200 nm. The transmission of AZO films with the different doping ratios in the visible region is 85%. The proper doping ratio can be selected to get the excellent photoelectric properties of AZO thin films. Such low resistivity AZO transparent conductive film is expected to replace the ITO as the transparent electrode for the organic light-emitting devices and the other new generation of the optoelectronic devices.

A low-temperature plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) process has been developed for the growth of ultrathin WNxCy films, using a halide-free W precursor. A 32-nm-thick PEALD WNxCy film deposited using this process at 250 °C possesses a composition of W72C20N5, resistivity of ∼250 μΩ·cm, a root-mean-square (rms) surface roughness of 0.23 nm, and a thickness conformality of more than 80% on trench structures with a width of 120 nm and an aspect ratio of 11. The WNxCy films exhibited excellent thermal stability, whereby resistivity, thickness, surface roughness, and crystal structure were stable after 30 min anneals in 700 Torr, forming gas ambient at temperatures up to 700 °C. Copper diffusion barrier performance measurements show that a 9 nm thick WNxCy film could prevent copper diffusion after a 30 min anneal at 700 °C, while a 2-nm-thick film could prevent copper diffusion after a 30 min anneal at 500 °C.
