摘要：
100 nm Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films were deposited on polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) substrates with radio frequency magnetron sputtering using 2 wt.% Al-doped ZnO target at various deposition conditions including sputtering power, target to substrate distance, working pressure and substrate temperature. When the sputtering power, target to substrate distance and working pressure were decreased, the resistivity was decreased due to the improvement of crystallinity with larger grain size. As the substrate temperature was increased from 25 to 120 degrees C, AZO films showed lower electrical resistivity and better optical transmittance due to the significant improvement of the crystallinity. 2 wt.% Al-doped ZnO films deposited on glass and PEN substrates at sputtering power of 25 W, target to substrate distance of 6.8 cm, working pressure of 0.4 Pa and substrate temperature of 120 degrees C showed the lowest resistivity (5.12 x 10(-3) Omega cm on PEN substrate, 3.85 x 10(-3) Omega cm on glass substrate) and high average transmittance (>90% in both substrates). AZO films deposited on PEN substrate showed similar electrical and optical properties like AZO films deposited on glass substrates. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
