In this study, the effects of La and V doping on Bi4Ti3O12(BLTV) ferroelectric thin films deposited on ITO/glass substrates using rf magnetron sputtering were produced and investigated. The effect of oxygen concentration and RF power on the physical and electrical characteristics of BLTV thin films was determined. The physical characteristics of BLTV thin films were obtained by the XRD pattern, SEM and AFM. The variations of crystallization, surface roughness and thickness of BLTV thin films were discussed. The electrical properties of BLTV thin films deposited under various parameters were measured by the HP4156C.

Electrical and optical properties of 1wt% ZnO-doped (Zr0.8Sn0.2)TiO4thin films prepared by rf magnetron sputtering on ITO/Glass substrates at different rf power and substrate temperature were investigated. The surface structural and morphological characteristics analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscope (AFM) were found to be sensitive to the deposition conditions, such as rf power and substrate temperature. The selected-area diffraction pattern showed that the deposited films exhibited a polycrystalline microstructure. All films exhibited ZST (111) orientation perpendicular to the substrate surface and the grain size as well as the deposition rate of the film increased with the increase in both the rf power and the substrate temperature. Optical transmittance spectroscopy further revealed high transparency (over 60%) in the visible region of the spectrum.

Perovskite Ba(Zr0.1Ti0.9)O3 (BZ1T9) ferroelectric thin films well deposited on ITO/glass substrates for applications in system-on-panel (SOP) devices are produced and investigated. The sputtering parameters of as-deposited BZ1T9 thin films were rf power of 160 W, chamber pressure of 10 mTorr, substrate temperature of 550oC, and an oxygen concentration of 40%. From the SEM cross- sectional observation, the deposition rate were about 2.5 nm/min. Additionally, the maximum dielectric constant and leakage current density of annealed BZT films under the rapid temperature annealing would be increased, as the temperature increased to 6500C. Further, the maximum remnant polarization and coercive field of BZT films were found and calculated from the p-E curves.

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) thin films were deposited at different temperatures (150 °C, 225 °C, 300 °C, 375 °C, and 450 °C) on quartz glass substrates and silicon substrates using the RF magnetron sputtering method. The influence of deposition temperature on the structural, optical, electrical properties and deposition rate of the obtained thin films was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS), Raman, absorption and transmission spectroscopies, a resistivity-measuring instrument with the four-probe method, and a step profiler. It was found that the MoS2 thin films deposited at the temperatures of 150 °C, 225 °C, and 300 °C were of polycrystalline with a (101) preferred orientation. With increasing deposition temperatures from 150 °C to 300 °C, the crystallization quality of the MoS2 thin films was improved, the Raman vibrational modes were strengthened, the deposition rate decreased, and the optical transmission and bandgap increased. When the deposition temperature increased to above 375 °C, the molecular atoms were partially combined with oxygen atoms to form MoO3 thin film, which caused significant changes in the structural, optical, and electrical properties of the obtained thin films. Therefore, it was necessary to control the deposition temperature and reduce the contamination of oxygen atoms throughout the magnetron sputtering process.

Amorphous Nb-doped TiO2 thin films were deposited on (100) Si and glass substrates at room temperature by RF magnetron sputtering and a mosaic-type Nb2O5-TiO2 sputtering target. To adjust the amount of the niobium dopant in the film samples, appropriate numbers of Nb2O5 pellets were placed on the circular area of the magnetron target with intensive sputtering. By adjusting the discharge conditions and the number of niobium oxide pellets, films with dopant content varying between 0 and 16.2 at.% were prepared, as demonstrated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the as-deposited samples showed the lack of crystalline ordering in the samples. Surfaces roughness and energy band gap values increase with dopant concentration, as showed by atomic force microscopy and UV-Vis spectroscopy measurements.

Nickel oxide (NiO) thin films were deposited on glass substrates using the RF magnetron sputtering technique at room temperature. The Argon and oxygen flow rates were kept constant at 10 sccm and 5 sccm respectively. The films were annealed at various temperatures (RT-300 °C) and its influence on the microstructural, optical and electrical properties were investigated. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) investigation of NiO films indicated the polycrystallinity of the films with the (111), (200) and (220) reflections corresponding to the cubic structure of NiO films. The crystallite size of NiO films was in the range ~4–14 nm. The transmittance of the films increased from 20 to 75% with increasing annealed temperature. The optical band gap of the films was 3.6–3.75 eV range for the as-deposited and annealed films. The Hall effect studies indicated the p-type conductivity of films and the film annealed at 300 °C showed higher carrier concentration (N), high conductivity (σ) and high mobility (μ) compared to other films. These NiO films can be used as a P-type semiconductor material in the devices require transparent conducting films.

The N-In codoped p-type ZnO films with preferential orientation along (002) plane have been fabricated on quartz glass substrates using radio frequency magnetron sputtering technique of ZnO:In2O3 powder target combining with N-implantation. The samples annealed at 700°C deserved the optimal properties, the best of which exhibits electrical characteristics with the hole concentration of 4.04×1018 cm-3, the lowest resistivity of 1.15 Ωcm and Hall mobility of about 1.35 cm2V-1s-1. The effects of post-annealing on the microstructure and electronic properties of the codoped ZnO films is analyzed via SEM, XRD, XPS and Hall measurements system, and the trend of carrier concentration with annealing time is discussed theoretically.
