摘要
High quality indium tin oxide (ITO) firms of thickness 80 +/- 20 nm grown by laser irradiation of the glass substrates during pulsed laser deposition are reported. Films were deposited from a 5 wt.% SnO2-doped In2O3 target at substrate temperatures (T,) ranging from room temperature (RT) to 400 degreesC and oxygen pressure (PO2) of 1.3 Pa. The energy of the laser beam focused unto the middle of the glass substrate during coatings was about 70 mJ cm(-2). The structural, electrical and optical properties of the laser-irradiated and the nonirradiated parts of the ITO films were studied as a function of T-s. Crystalline films with (I I I) preferred orientation and crystal sizes much greater than 200 nm were obtained at all T-s. At RT, the resistivity of the laser-irradiated part of one him was 1.2 x 10(-4) Ohm cm compared with 2.3 x 10(-4) Ohm cm for a nonirradiated part. At 300 degreesC, a low resistivity value of 8.5 x 10(-5) Ohm cm was achieved for both the laser-irradiated and the nonirradiated parts of the ITO film. The achievement of low resistivity resulted from the high carrier concentration similar to 1.2 x 10(21) cm(-3) and the high Hall mobility (40-57) cm(2) V-1 s(-1). The films also exhibited high optical transmittance (similar to 90%) to visible light. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V, All rights reserved.
