摘要
A radio frequency magnetron co-sputtering technique exploiting GaTe and Sb2Te3 targets was used for the fabrication of Ga-Sb-Te thin films. Prepared layers cover broad region of chemical composition (similar to 10.0-26.3 at. % of Ga, similar to 19.9-34.4 at. % of Sb) while keeping Te content fairly constant (53.8-55.6 at. % of Te). Upon crystallization induced by annealing, large variations in electrical contrast were found, reaching a sheet resistance ratio of Rannaded/Ras-deposited similar to 2.2 x 10(-8) for the Ga26.3Sb19.9Te33.8 layer. Phase transition from the amorphous to crystalline state further leads to huge changes of optical functions demonstrated by optical contrast values up to vertical bar Delta n vertical bar + vertical bar Delta k vertical bar = 4.20 for Ga26.3Sb19.9Te53.8 Composition.
