摘要
Effect of substrate temperature and RF plasma power on the physical and optoelectronic properties of the RF magnetron sputtered GZO thin films is studied using suitable characterization techniques. 80% transmission is observed in the visible region and sheet resistance of the film observed to decrease from 2333.0 ohm/gamma to 17.4 ohm/gamma with increase in substrate temperature from room temperature to 250 degrees C at 100 W power. Increasing power to 140 W resulted in the film with lowest sheet resistance of 6.2 ohm/sheet and conductivity of 1.23x10(03) S/cm at 250 degrees C substrate temperature. The potential of GZO as TCE is evaluated using FOM calculations.
