Abstract

Effects of hydrogen and oxygen additives on structural, optical, and electrical properties of ZnO films were extensively examined. ZnO films were deposited using RF sputtering by varying the gas mixing ratio of $H_2$ and $O_2$. Optical transmittances at visible region, electrical resistivities, and micro-structures of ZnO films were characterized in terms of the kind and amount of additive gases. It was observed that the material properties of ZnO films required for their use in transparent thin film transistors, such as approximately $10^3{\Omega}cm$ in resistivity and higher than 85% in transmittance, can be achieved by controlling the gas mixing ratio of $O_2/H_2$ (sccm) in the range of 2/2~2/8.
