PZT thin films(4000A) have prepared onto 1737 corning glass and ITO coated glass substrates with a RF magnetron sputtering system using Pb_{1.05}(Zr_{0.52},Ti_{0.48})O_3$ceramic target, Electrical properties of PZT thin film deposited after ITO coated glass were P${\gamma}$ was decreased by 25% after 109cycles, respectively. With the RTA treatment duration and temperature increased, the crystallization of PZT thin films were enhanced, however, the leakage current density became higher. The leakage current mechanism was found to be space charge conduction by the defects and oxygen vacancies existing in PZT and PZT/bottom electrode interfaces.

ITO/GZO double layered thin films were prepared on transparent glass substrates. Ga-doped ZnO(GZO) films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering using an ZnO:Ga (98: 2 wt%) target. The post deposition annealing process was conducted for 30 minutes at different temperature of 100, 200, 300 and $400^{\circ}C$, respectively. As increase annealing temperature, ITO/GZO double layered thin films show the increment of the prefer orientation of ZnO diffraction peak (002) in the XRD patterns. We obtained Ga-doped ZnO thin films with a lowest resistivity of $1.84{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}-cm$ at $400^{\circ}C$ and transparency above 80% in visible ranges. The figure of merit obtained in this study means that ITO/GZO double layered thin films which annealed at $400^{\circ}C$ have the highest optoelectrical performance in this study.

Sn-doped $In_2O_3$ (ITO) thin films were prepared by radio frequency magnetron sputtering without intentional substrate heating on bare glass and $TiO_2$-deposited glass substrates to investigate the effect of a $TiO_2$ buffer layer on the electrical and optical properties of ITO films. The thicknesses of $TiO_2$ and ITO films were kept constant at 5 and 100 nm, respectively. As-deposited ITO single layer films show an optical transmittance of 75.9%, while $ITO/TiO_2$ bi-layered films show a lower transmittance of 76.1%. However, as-deposited $ITO/TiO_2$ films show a lower resistivity ($9.87{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$) than that of ITO single layer films. In addition, the work function of the ITO film is affected by the $TiO_2$ buffer layer, with the $ITO/TiO_2$ films having a higher work-function (5.0 eV) than that of the ITO single layer films. The experimental results indicate that a 5-nm-thick $TiO_2$ buffer layer on the $ITO/TiO_2$ films results in better performance than conventional ITO single layer films.

The ITO thin films for Top-Emitting Organic Light Emitting Devices (TOLEDs) were prepared on cell(LiF/Organic Layer/Bottom Electrode : ITO ) by FTS (Facing Targets Sputtering) system under different sputtering conditions which were varying gas pressure, input current and distance of target to target($D_{T-T}$). As a function of sputtering conditions, I-V characteristics of prepared ITO thin films on cell were measured by 4156A (HP). In the results, when the In thin films were deposited at $D_{T-T}$ 70mm and working pressure 1mTorr, the leakage current of ITO/cell was about 11[V] and 5E-6[$mA/cm^2$].

In this study, we prepared ITO thin film on the polycarbonate(PC) substrate by using Facing Targets sputtering (FTS) system. After the external bending force was applied to as-deposited ITO thin films with fixed face-plate distance (L), we investigated how properties of those change. As a result, the crack density of films was increasing as bending frequency increased. In accordance with crack distribution, we observed that the resistivity value of ITO thin film increased.

In this study, ITO thin films were fabricated on a glass substrate at different thicknesses without introducing oxygen using RF sputtering system. The structural, electrical, and optical properties were evaluated at various thicknesses ranging from 50 to 300 mm. As the thickness of deposited ITO thin film become thicker from 50 to 100 mm, carrier concentration, mobility, and band gap energy also increased while the resistivity and transmittance decreased in the visible light region. When the film thickness increased from 100 to 300 mm, the carrier concentration, mobility, and band gap energy decreased while the resistivity and transmittance increased. The optimum electrical properties were obtained for the ITO film 100 nm. After optimizing the thickness, the ITO thin films were post-annealed at different temperatures ranging from 100 to 300℃. As the annealing temperature increased, the ITO crystal phase became clearer and the grain size also increased. In particular, the ITO thin film annealed at 300℃ indicated high carrier concentration (4.32 × 10²¹ cm^-3), mobility (9.01 cm²/V·s) and low resistivity (6.22 × 10^-4 Ω·cm). This means that the optimal post-annealing temperature is 300℃ and this ITO thin film is suitable for use in solar cells and display application.

Indium tin oxide (ITO) has a lot of variations of its properties because it is basically in an amorphous state. Therefore, the differences in composition ratio of ITO can result in alteration of electrical properties. Normally, ITO is considered as transparent conductive oxide (TCO), possessing excellent properties for the optical and electrical devices. Quantitatively, TCO has transparency over 80 percent within the range of 380nm to 780nm, which is visible light although its specific resistance is less than $10-3{\Omega}/cm$. Thus, the solar cell is the best example for which ITO has perfectly matching profile. In addition, when ITO is used as transparent conductive electrode, this material essentially has to have a proper work function with contact materials. For instance, heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer (HIT) solar cell could have both front ITO and backside ITO. Because each side of ITO films has different type of contact materials, p-type amorphous silicon and n-type amorphous silicon, work function of ITO has to be modified to transport carrier with low built-in potential and Schottky barrier, and approximately requires variation from 3 eV to 5 eV. In this study, we examine the change of work function for different sputtering conditions using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). Structure of ITO films was investigated by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Optical transmittance of the films was evaluated by using an ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer

Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) 박막을 $In_{2}O_{3}$(90mol%) : $SnO_{2}$(10mo1%)의 조성비를 가지는 타겟을 사하여 rf 마그네트론 스퍼터링 법으로 제작하였다. 기판온도 100, 200, 300, 400, $500^{\circ}C$ 와 열처리 온도 300, 400, $500^{\circ}C$로 변화시켜 주면서 제작하였으며 X-ray 회절 패턴, 전기적 특성, 투과도, SEM 사진 등으로 분석하였다. 그 결과 기판온도를 증가시킬수록 결정성, 전기 전도도와 투과도가 향상되었다. 그러나 공기 중에서 열처리 온도를 증가함에 따라 도리어 전도도는 감소하였다. 기판온도 $300^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 $3000\;{\AA}$ 두께를 가지고 성장된 ITO 박막은 약 $2{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$의 저항률과 85% 이상의 가시광 투과율을 가졌다.

Indium tin oxide(ITO) thin film was deposited at room temperature on polycarbonate(PC) substrate by in-line sputter system. ITO sputtering process was carried out at a various pressure for the reduction of ion damage on PC substrate and the electrical and the optical properties of deposited ITO films were obtained and analyzed. From the experimental results, the sheet resistances of as-deposited ITO films varied with a different pressure and the optical transmittances at visible wavelength were maintained above 85%. The results are considered to be related to the pressure of oxygen atoms as a reaction gas.

The thin film that is electrically conductive and optically transparent is called conductive transparent thin film. ITO(Indium-Tin Oxide) which is a kind of conductive transparent thin film has been widely used in solar cell, transparent electrical heater, selective optical filter, FDP(Flat Display Panel) such as LCD(Liquid Crystal Display), PDP(Plasma Display Panel) and so on. Especially in PDP, ITO films is used as a transparent electrode in order to maintain discharge and decrease consumption power through the improvement of cell structure. In this study, we prepared ITO by reactive r.f. sputtering with indium-tin(Sn 10wt%) alloy target instead of indium-tin oxide target. The ITO films deposited at low temperature 15$0^{\circ}C$ and 8% $O_2$. Partial pressure showed about 3.6 Ω/$\square$. At the end of firing, the resistance of ITO was decreased, the optical transparence was improved above 90%.
