Abstract

In this paper we report upon an investigation into the effect of sputter pressure and RF power on the electrical properties of Gallium doped zinc oxide (GZO) film. GZO films were deposited on glass substrate without substrate temperature by RF magnetron sputtering from a ZnO target mixed with 5 wt% $Ga_2O_3$. Argon gas pressure and RF power were in the range of 1~11 mTorr, and 50~100 W, respectively. However, the resistivity of the film was strongly influenced by the sputter pressure and RF power. We were able to achieve as low as $1.5{\times}10^{-3}\;{\Omega}cm$, without substrate temperature.
