Abstract

Transparent conducting gallium-doped zinc oxide (GZO) thin films which were deposited on Corning glass substrate using an Gun-type rf magnetron sputtering deposition technology. The GZO thin films were fabricated with an GZO ceramic target (Zn : 97[wt%], $Ga_2O_3$ : 3[wt%]). The GZO thin films were deposited by varying the growth conditions such as the substrate temperature, oxygen pressure. Among the GZO thin films fabricated in this study, the one formed at conditions of the substrate temperature of 200[$^{\circ}C$], Ar flow rate of 50[sccm], $O_2$ flow rate of 5[sccm], rf power of 80[W] and working pressure of 5[mtorr] showed the best properties of an electrical resistivity of $2.536{\times}10^{-4}[{\Omega}{\cdot}cm]$, a carrier concentration of $7.746{\times}10^{20}[cm^{-3}]$, and a carrier mobility of 31.77[$cm^2/V{\cdot}S$], which indicates that it could be used as a transparent electrode for thin film transistor and flat panel display applications.

본 논문에서는 rf 마그네트론 스퍼터링 기술을 이용하여 코닝 글라스 기판 위에 갈륨이 도핑된 산화아연(GZO)을 투명 전도막으로 제작하여 그 전기적 및 광학적 특성을 조사하였다. GZO 박막의 제작은 Zn : 97[wt%], $Ga_2O_3$ : 3[wt%]의 GZO 세라믹 타겟을 이용하였으며, 기판온도 및 산소압력과 같은 증착조건을 변화시키며 증착하였다. 본 연구에서 제작된 GZO 박막중 기판온도 200[$^{\circ}C$], Ar 50[sccm], $O_2$ 5[sccm], rf power 80[W] 및 증착압력 5[mtorr]의 조건에서 제작된 박막에서 가시광 영역에서 90[%] 이상의 높은 가시광 투과율, $2.536{\times}10^{-4}[{\Omega}{\cdot}cm]$의 비저항, $7.746{\times}10^{20}[cm^{-3}]$의 캐리어 농도 및 31.77[$cm^2V{\cdot}S$]의 캐리어 이동도로 가장 좋은 전기적 특성이 관찰되었다.
