摘要
Indium oxide thin films have been deposited in vacuum (10(-5) Torr) by thermal evaporation of indium oxide (In2O3) powder using an electron beam. The deposited films were annealed in air and in oxygen at 473 K for 2h. Pure aluminum electrodes were deposited using suitable masks to form the sandwich structure Al-In2O3-Al. Using this metal-insulator-metal structure, the aging effect and variations in capacitance and dielectric loss were studied in the frequency range 200 Hz to 30 kHz at different temperatures. A negative temperature coefficient of capacitance (TCC) was observed for films of various thicknesses in different temperature ranges. The variation of dielectric loss (tan-delta), measured at 1kHz, with temperature was characterized by loss peaks which were found to shift towards the low temperature region with increasing thickness. Cole-Cole plot were drawn and the spread in mean relaxation time was also determined at different temperatures; the results are discussed.
