Abstract

In this study, the effect of oxygen partial pressure on the electrical properties of vanadium oxide(VO$_{x}$) thin films were investigated. The thin films were prepared by r.f. magnetron sputtering from V$_2$O$_{5}$ target in a gas mixture of argon and oxygen. The oxygen partial pressure ratio is changed from 0% to 8%. I-V characteristics were distinguished between linear and nonlinear region. In the low field region the conduction is due to Schottky emission, while at high fields it changes to Fowler-Nordheim tunneling type conduction. The conductivity measurements have shown an Arrhenius dependence of the conductivity on the temperature.ure.
