摘要
The plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition of aluminum-doped zinc oxide has been demonstrated for the first time at 800 Torr and under 250 degrees C. A film resistivity of 3 x 10(-2) Omega cm and a transparency of 95% from 375 to 2500nm was obtained for deposition at 20-mTorr diethylzinc, 1.0 Torr CO2, 799 Torr He, a TMAl/DEZn ratio of 1:100, 41 W/cm(3) RF power, and 225 degrees C. The average aluminum concentration in the ZnO film was 5.4 x 10(20) cm(-3). It was found that, while the growth rate did not change with substrate temperature, both the resistivity and optical absorption coefficient declined with increasing temperature.
