采用磁控溅射的方法在蓝宝石衬底上制备了氧化铟锡(ITO)透明氧化物薄膜;研究了不同厚度薄膜的结构、光学和电学特性。经X射线衍射(XRD)测量
发现在蓝宝石衬底上生长的ITO薄膜呈现了较高的(222)择优取向;随着膜层厚度的增加
该衍射峰对应的2

衍射角逐渐向大角度方向移动
同时该衍射峰的半峰全宽逐渐减小
平均晶粒尺寸增大。 经光学透射光谱测量
发现随着膜层厚度的增加
光学透过率逐渐减小。膜层厚度为0.2 μm时
可见光透过率超过80%
当膜层厚度为0.8 μm时
可见光透过率下降到60%。电学测量结果表明
随着膜层厚度的增加

Indium tin oxide (ITO
or tin-doped indium oxide) is a mixture of indium oxide(In

in mass fraction. It is transparent and colorless for ITO layers. Indium tin oxides main feature is the combination of electrical conductivity and optical transparency. ITO is mainly used to make transparent conductive coatings for flat panel displays
plasma displays
and solar cells. In this paper
ITO thin films were grown on
c

. The sapphire substrate were cleaned strickly and blown dry in N

gas before they were introduced into the chamber. High purity Ar and O

were introduced through independent mass flow controllers after the vacuum chamber was evacuated below 11×10
-5
Pa. The oxygen content in the sputter gas was determined by the oxygen-to-argon partial pressure ratio. The process total pressure was kept at 0.5 Pa and the sputtering time was varied to obtain thin films with thickness ranging from 0.2 to 0.8 μm. The structural
optical and electrical properties of the film were specially studied. According to the XRD diffraction measurement
it was found that ITO thin films grown on sapphire substrate show highly (222)-preferred orientation. With the increase of the films thickness
the 2
θ
angle of (222) diffraction peak moves toward to larger direction and the full width at the half maximum (FWHM) of the peak decreases. When the thickness of the ITO thin film is 0.2 μm
the FWHM is about 0.46°. When the thickness increased from 0.4 μm to 0.8 μm
the FWHM decreased from 0.45° to 0.43°. The thickness of the thin film also effected on the average grain size
the average grain size is 17.8

18.7 and 19.3 nm for ITO thin film with a thickness of 0.2

0.6 and 0.8 μm
respectively. According to the optical measurement results
the optical transmittance of the film decrease with the increase of the films thickness. The transmittance is about 80% and the 60% for the thickness of 0.2 μm and 0.8 μm. The electrical measurement on the films showed that the resistivity decreases with the increase of the films thickness. The resistivity is 9×10
-4
Ω·cm for ITO film with the thickness of 0.2 μm. When the thickness is increased to 0.8 μm
the resistivity is decreased to 5.5×10
- 4
Ω·cm. Thus
in factual applications
one must choose an ideal thickness of the ITO thin films in order to achieve a satisfactorily structural
optical and electrical property.
