Abstract

Silicon zinc oxide (SZO) thin films were deposited via co-sputtering. Two kinds of post-treatment, furnace annealing and hot pressing, were carried out on the deposited SZO films. The effects of the post-treatment on the chemical bond and surface roughness of the deposited SZO films were analyzed as functions of the post-treatment conditions that were used. It was observed from the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results that the amount of Si-O bonds in the SZO film drastically increased after the low-temperature furnace annealing. The experiment results showed that the hot pressing method would be favorable as it could improve the electrical characteristics of the SZO-TFTs.
