摘要
We report the dependence of the electronic properties on the metal composition and oxygen content of transparent conducting amorphous indium zinc oxide (a-IZO) films deposited by dc magnetron sputtering. a-IZO shows a clear Burstein-Moss shift with an effective optical band gap of 3.1 eV independent of the metal composition. A metal-composition-independent dependence of the mobility (mu) on carrier concentration (N) is also found for a-IZO with mu(max) = 54 cm(2)/V s at N = 1.3 x 10(20) cm(-3). The electron transport, thermally activated at N <= 10(19) cm(-3), becomes limited by lattice scattering at N approximate to 1020 cm(-3) and then by ionized impurity scattering at N > 5 x 10(20) cm(-3).
