Radio Frequency Magnetron Sputtering

This study utilizes radio frequency magnetron sputtering (RF sputtering) to deposit GZO transparent conductive film and Ti thin film on the same corning glass substrate and then treats GZO/Ti thin film with rapid thermal annealing. The annealing temperatures are 300°C , 500°C, and 550°C, respectively. Ti:GZO transparent conductive oxide (TCO) thin films are deposited on glass substrates using a radio frequency magnetron sputtering technique. The thin films are then annealed at temperatures of 300°C, 500°C, and 550°C, respectively, for rapid thermal annealing. The effects of the annealing temperature on the optical properties, resistivity, and nanomechanical properties of the Ti:GZO thin films are then systematically explored. The results show that all of the annealed films have excellent transparency (~90%) in the visible light range. Moreover, the resistivity of the Ti:GZO films reduces with an increasing annealing temperature, while the carrier concentration and Hall mobility both increase. Finally, the hardness and Young’s modulus of the Ti:GZO thin films are both found to increase as the annealing temperature is increased.

Zirconium-doped MgxZn1−xO (Zr-doped MZO) mixed-oxide films were investigated, and the temperature sensitivity of their electric and optical properties was characterized. Zr-doped MZO films were deposited through radio-frequency magnetron sputtering using a 4-inch ZnO/MgO/ZrO2 (75/20/5 wt%) target. Hall measurement, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmittance, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data were obtained. The lowest sheet resistance, highest mobility, and highest concentration were 1.30 × 103 Ω/sq, 4.46 cm2/Vs, and 7.28 × 1019 cm−3, respectively. The XRD spectra of the as-grown and annealed Zr-doped MZO films contained MgxZn1−xO(002) and ZrO2(200) coupled with Mg(OH)2(101) at 34.49°, 34.88°, and 38.017°, respectively. The intensity of the XRD peak near 34.88° decreased with temperature because the films that segregated Zr4+ from ZrO2(200) increased. The absorption edges of the films were at approximately 348 nm under 80% transmittance because of the Mg content. XPS revealed that the amount of Zr4+ increased with the annealing temperature. Zr is a potentially promising double donor, providing up to two extra free electrons per ion when used in place of Zn2+.
