摘要
The interaction of reactively sputtered TaO(x) films with In-Sn-O (ITO) films was investigated. Phenomena observed in the TaO(x)/ITO layer structure after a postannealing were studied. These phenomena were: a rise in electrical resistance of the ITO films and a change in color of the layer from transparent to yellowish. Monitoring the gases evolved from the TaO(x) films during the heating under vacuum showed that incorporation of water into the TaO(x) films takes place. Evolution of this water from the TaO(x) films started at around 350-degrees-C, peaked at around 500-degrees-C, and was largely complete at around 650-degrees-C. It was found that the occurrence of the phenomena described above appeared at precisely the temperature at which water was evolved from the TaO(x) films. It was concluded that the water component incorporated into the TaO(x) films was the origin of both phenomena. Water present in the conditions under which discharge deposition takes place would be the cause of that incorporation.
