ITO (indium tin oxide) thin films on PET (polyethylene terephthalate) substrate have been deposited by a dc reactive magnetron sputtering without heat treatments such as substrate heater and post heat treatment. Each sputtering parameter during the sputtering deposition is an important factor for the high quality of ITO thin films deposited on polymeric substrate. Particularly, the material, electrical and optical properties of as-deposited ITO oxide films are dominated by the ratio of oxygen partial pressure. As the experimental results, the excellent ITO films are prepared on PET substrate at the operating conditions as follows : operating pressure of 5 mTorr, target-substrate distance of 45mm, do power of 20~30W, and oxygen gas ratio of 10%. The optical transmittance is above 80% at 550 nm, and the sheet resistance and resistivity of films are 24 Ω/square and $1.5\times$10$^{-3}$ Ωcm, respectively.

In this study the ITO thin films were prepared by using FTS(Facing Targets Sputtering) system. The electric characteristics, transmittance, surface roughness of ITO thin films were investigated as a function of varying input current and working gas pressure at room temperature. As a result, the ITO thin film was fabricated with resistivity $6{\times}10^{-4}[\Omega{\cdot}cm]$, carrier mobility $52.11[cm^2/V{\cdot}sec]$, carrier concentration $1.72{\times}10^{20}[cm^{-3}]$ of ITO thin film at working pressure 1mTorr and input current 0.6A.

In this work, the ITO thin films were prepared by FTS (Facing Targets Sputtering) system under different sputtering conditions which were varying $O_2$ gas flow and input current. As a function of sputtering conditions, electrical and optical properties of prepared ITO thin films were measured. The electrical characteristics, surface roughness and transmittance of the ITO thin films were evaluated by Hall Effect Measurement, AFM, and UV-VIS spectrometer respectively. In addition, I-V properties of OLED cells were measured by 4156A(HP).

The transparent electrode properties of ITO films deposited by RF magnetron sputtering with process pressure were investigated. The ITO thin films was deposited on a glass substrate using a target with 3in diameter sintered at a ratio of $In_2O_3$ : $SnO_2$ (9 : 1). 200-nm-thick ITO thin films were manufactured by various process pressures ($2.0{\times}10^{-2}$, $7.0{\times}10^{-3}$ and $2.0{\times}10^{-3}$ Torr). The optical transmittance and resistivity of the deposited ITO thin films showed a relatively satisfactory result under $10^{-2}$ Torr. For high process pressure, the optical transmittance was below 80%, while for low process pressure, the optical transmittance was above 85%. As a result of of mobility, resistivity and carrier concentration by Hall measurement, we obtained satisfactory properties to apply into a transparent conducting thin film.

Indium tin oxide(ITO) is an advanced ceramic material with many electronic and optical applications due to its high electrical conductivity and transparency to light ITO thin films are used in transparent electrodes for display devices, transparent coatings for solar energy heat mirrors and windows films in n-p heterojunction solar cells, etc. Almost all display devices were fabricated on transparent ITO electrode substrates. There are several factors that cause decay in the efficiency and the failure of display devices. The degradation or damage of ITO is one of the main factors. Under normal operating conditions, the electric fold required for the operation of display devices is very high As a high electric field induces the joule heat, the degradation of the ITO thin film may be expected. Therefore, it is worthy to investigate the thermal and electrical effect on ITO thin films.

This study was explained the correlation between the O 1s spectra and the crystallization of ITO thin films. The crystal structure of ITO thin films changed with various annealing temperatures and annealing methods such as atmosphere or vaccum conditions. The amorphous structure observed from XRD pattern showed the O 1s spectra with 531.2 eV, and the crystal structure of annealed ITO films analyzed by XRD pattern had the O 1s spectra of 529.8 eV as lower binding energy then the 531.2 eV. Oxygen in view of ITO films was related to the crystallization, and the ITO films annealed in an atmosphere pressure showed higher crystal structure than the ITO annealed in a vaccum. It was indicated that the amorphous structure had higher binding energy than the crystal structure analyzed by O 1s spectra of ITO films.

In this study, we investigated the oxygen partial pressure effect of ITO films for electrodes of oxide-based Thin-Film Transistor (TFT). Firstly, we deposited single ITO films on the glass substrate at room temperature. ITO films were prepared at the various partial pressures of oxygen gas 0-7.4% (O₂/(Ar+O₂)). As increasing oxygen on the process of film deposition, electrical properties were improved and optical transmittance increased in the visible light range (300-800 nm). For the electrode of TFT, we fabricated a TFT device (W/L=1000/200 ㎛) with ITO films as the source and drain electrode on the silicon wafer. Except for the TFT device combined with ITO film prepared at the oxygen partial pressure ratio of 7.4%, We confirmed that TFT devices with ITO films via FTS system operated as a driving device at threshold voltage (V_th) of 4V.
