Abstract

This paper deals with the characteristics of Indium Tin Oxide(ITO) sputtered by the reactive magnetron sputtering process. ITO films have been grown at various substrate temperatures(R.T, 100$^{\circ}C$, 200$^{\circ}C$, 240$^{\circ}C$) and we used the target material of alloy of Indium and Tin. The electrical and optical properties of the ITO film have been investigated and the effect of magnetic field to the properties of ITO was studied. We have studied how much the improvement of transmission rate and sheet resistivity by heat treatment was. The sample with good electrical and optical properties can be obtained for the low substrate temperature of 200$^{\circ}C$-250$^{\circ}C$.
