摘要
Cu-Cr-O thin films were prepared by the RF magnetron sputtering technology on quartz substrates with a sintered CuCrO2 ceramic as a target. The influence of annealing temperature on the structural and optoelectronic properties of the Cu-Cr-O thin films was investigated. The X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the Cu-Cr-Ofilm annealed at 973Khas a delafossite structure without other phases, and the crystallinity of the film increases with the increase of the annealing temperature. Based on the measurements by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and the electrical property, the optical transmittance increases and the conductivity decreases as the annealing temperature increases. The maximum optical transmittance and conductivity of the film annealed at 973-1273K are 50% and 0.12S/cm, respectively. The results by scanning electron microscopy indicate that presence of micro-cracks in the film could be the main reason for the decreased electrical conductivity. © 2019, Editorial Department of Journal of the Chinese Ceramic Society.
