Effect of thermal annealing on optical and electrical properties of VOx deposited by magnetron sputtering

마그네트론 스퍼터링법으로 증착한 VOx 박막의 열처리에 따른 광학적.전기적 특성 변화

In this work, VOx thin films have been deposited by DC magnetron sputtering method on glass substrate using argon and oxygen gases. We examined the effects of the post annealing temperature on the structural, optical, and electrical variations of VOx films. The films were annealed at temperatures ranging from 300 to $500^{\circ}C$ in steps of $100^{\circ}C$ using RTA equipment in air ambient. The thickness of the film and interface between film and substrate were observed by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). To analysis the structural properties of VOx with various annealng temperatures, we used XRD method. Also, we investigated the electrical and optical properties of VOx thin films using hall measurement, 4-point probe, and UV-visible methods.
