摘要
The effect of heat treatment on the Ni-defective value and electric resistivity in the reactively sputtered NiO films with a 500 nm thickness is studied. The as-sputtered films were largely Ni-defective (Ni1-gammaO); the Ni-defective value gamma of Ni1-gammaO decreases markedly from 0.23 to similar to - 0.01 with the annealing temperature (T-a). With the increase in annealing temperature, the electric resistivity (rho) increases substantially from similar to 1 to 10(5) Ohm cm, changing from p-type semiconductor to oxide characteristics. It was found that the resistivity strongly increases with the decrease of the Ni-defective value (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
