摘要
The effect of sputtering pressure on the properties of dc reactive magnetron sputtered nickel oxide thin films was discussed in the present paper. The structural, morphological, compositional, optical and electrical properties of the deposited films were influenced by sputtering pressure. From X-ray diffractometer studies, it was observed that films were preferentially grown along (220) reflection. The films exhibited wide direct optical band gap of 3.82 eV with transmittance of 60% at the sputtering pressure of 4 Pa. Hall effect measurements showed that all films exhibited p-type conductivity and the electrical resistivity decreases with increasing the sputtering pressure up to 4 Pa, thereafter increased with sputtering pressure.
