摘要
Indium tin oxide films produced by reactive middle frequency magnetron sputtering were annealed in a vacuum. The electrical and optical properties of the film have been studied in situ along With direct characterization of the crystalline structure. Even in the amorphous state, the film resistivity significantly decreases with increasing temperature due to a free-electron density enhancement, likely by the generation of oxygen vacancies. A rapid crystallization within the temperature range of 250-280 degreesC leads to a further decrease of the resistivity due to Sri donor activation. The resistivity. and the optical properties depend nonlinearly on the crystalline fraction. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
