Abstract

We investigate the dependence of indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films on the mixing ratio of Ar:O$_2$ produced by an ion-gun and $O_2$ injected inside the divergence angle of the ion-beam to optimize their sheet resistance and transmittance. The substrate is placed outside the divergence angle, and the films are grown by ion mixing with ITO evaporated at room temperature. From the XRD measurement ITO films are found to be amorphous. ITO thin films show the highest transmittance of 85% at 3$\times$10$^{-5}$ Torr of 0$_2$ and Ae:O$_2$ ratio of 40:60, and the smallest sheet resistance of 132 $\Omega$/$\square$at 1$\times$10$^{-5}$ Torr of $O_2$ and As:O$_2$ ratio of 40:60.

본 논문에서는 ITO박막의 면저항과 투과율의 최적 상태를 얻기 위해 이온총에 주입된 Ar:O$_2$혼합비율과 이온빔 발산 각안으로 도입된 $O_2$에 따른 변화를 연구하였다. 기판은 이온빔 발산 각 외부에 위치시켰고, 박막은 상온에서 전자빔으로 증발시킨 ITO와 이온 mixing하여 제작하였다. XRD 측정 결과, 상온에서 제작된 ITO 박막은 모두 비정질이었다. 3$\times$$10^{-5}$ Torr의 산소 분위기에서 이온총에 주입된 Ar:O$_2$비율이 40:60일 때 85%로 가장 높은 투과율을 보였고, 1$\times$$10^{-5}$ Torr에서 Ar:O$_2$비율이 40:60일 때 132 $\Omega$/$\square$ 의 가장 낮은 면 저항을 보였다.
