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.

In this paper, we investigated indium-tin-oxide (ITO) thin films on glass substrates deposited by RF magnetron sputtering using ceramic target to find the optimal condition for fabricating optoelectronic devices. The structural, electrical and optical properties of the ITO films prepared at various substrate temperatures were investigated. The results indicate the grain size increases with substrate temperature increases. As the substrate temperature grew up, the resistivity of ITO films greatly decreased. The ITO film possesses high quality in terms of electrode functions, when substrate temperature is 480°C. The resistivity is as low as 9.42 × 10-5 Ω• cm , while the carrier concentration and mobility are as high as 3.461 × 1021 atom∕cm3 and 19.1 cm2∕V⋅s, respectively. The average transmittance of the film is about 95% in the visible region. The novel ITO/np-Silicon frame, which prepared by RF magnetron sputtering at 480°C substrate temperature, can be used not only for low-cost solar cell, but also for high quantum efficiency of UV and visible lights enhanced photodetector for various applications.

Ti doped ITO (ITO:Ti) thin films were fabricated on glass substrates by RF magnetron sputtering using only one piece of ITO:Ti ceramic target at different substrate temperature (Ts). The effect of substrate temperature on structural, electrical, and optical properties of the films was investigated. It is confirmed that the resistivity of the films decreases with the increase of Ts till the minimum value of 2.5×10-4 Ω•cm and the transmittance in visible wavelengths is higher than 90%. "Blue shift" and "red shift" of UV absorption edge of the film were observed when Ts200 °CHeaders and footers

In-doped zinc oxide ( ZnO:In ) thin films with thickness from 157 nm to 592 nm have been deposited on glass substrates by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering. The effect of the film thickness on the structural, electrical and optical properties of ZnO:In thin films has been investigated. It is found that the films are hexagonal wurtzite structure with c-axis perpendicular to the substrate, and with increasing thickness, the crystallinity, the grains size and the conductivity of the films increases, but the strains along c-axis and the transmittance decrease. The decrease of the resistivity in a thicker film is attributed to the slight increase of the carrier concentration and the significant increase of Hall mobility. The transmittance of all the films is over 80% in the visible region (400–800 nm) and the band gap decrease with the increase of film thickness. The film with the thickness of around 303 nm has the resistivity of 6.07 × 10-3 Ω⋅ cm and the transmittance of 90% in the visible range. Based on the good conductivity and high transmittance, the ZnO:In films prepared by magnetron sputtering can be regarded as a potential transparent electrode.

Average Transmittance

WO3 thin film was prepared on glass substrate at room temperature by RF magnetron sputtering deposition with hybrid (Ar+2.5% H2) gas. Effects of RF power on the microstructure, electrical and optical properties of WO3 films are investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Hall measurement and spectrometer. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that all of the films are amorphous. The minimum resistivity of the WO3 film prepared with RF 70W is 5.74 × 10-3 -cm. The average transmittance in the visible region was decreased with increased RF power from 50W to 150W. The average transmittance was lower than 15% with RF 50W. The electrical and optical mechanisms have been explained in terms of composition and film thickness were changed with RF power.

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.

AbstractWe report a systematic study of the influence of the target-substrate distance and rf power on the structural and optical properties of ZnO thin films grown by rf magnetron sputtering in Ar atmosphere from ZnO sputtering target. Sharp (002) peak showed by XRD indicates a c-axis crystalline growth of ZnO films. Growth rate remained almost constant for short target-substrate distances. However, the grain size increases with the rf power decreasing the compressive stress in ZnO films. As-grown ZnO films have average transmittance more than 80% in the visible region. Optical bandgap (Eg) increases from 3.18 to 3.27 eV as increase the target-substrate distance probably due to low stress compression in ZnO films. In addition, when rf power is above 100 W, the optical band gap increases as increase of the stress compression.
