Abstract

The transport and optical properties of $In_2O_3$:Zn(IZO) thin films grown by DC magnetron sputtering deposition have been studied. The deposition temperatures ($T_s$) were varied from room temperature to $400^{\circ}C$ in $50^{\circ}C$ steps. The IZO films are an amorphous phase for $T_s$<$300^{\circ}C$ and polycrystalline phase for $350^{\circ}C$$T_s$. In contrast to ordinary films, amorphous IZO films have lower resistivity and higher optical transmittance than polycrystalline IZO films. The resistivity of amorphous IZO was in the range of 0.29~0.4 m$\Omega$cm and that of polycrystalline IZO was in the range of 1~4 m$\Omega$cm. The carrier type for IZO film was found to be n-type, and the carrier density, was $3~5{\times}10^{20}/cm^3$. The Hall mobility, $({\mu}_H)$, was 20~$50\textrm{cm}^2$/V.sec. The predominant scattering mechanisms in both amorphous and polycrystalline IZO films were believed to be ionized impurity scattering and lattice scattering. The visible transmittance of the IZO films, which decreases with an increase of TS, was above 80%.

직류 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방법으로 성장 온도($T_s$)를 변화시키면서 제작한 $In_2O_3$:Zn(IZO) 박막의 전기적, 광학적 특성을 조사하였다. $T_s$<$300^{\circ}C$에서 제작한 IZO 박막은 비정질이었고, $350^{\circ}C$$T_s$인 경우 결정질이었다. 일반적인 물질과 달리 특이하게도 IZO가 비정질일 때 전기 전도도와 광투과도 모두 결정질일 경우 보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 비정질 IZO 박막의 경우 비저항의 값은 0.29~0.4m$\Omega$cm 이었으며 결정질 박막의 경우 1~4m$\Omega$cm이었다. IZO 박막내의 전하는 n형이고 전하농도(${n}_H$)는 $3~5{\times}10^{20}/cm^3$, 전하 유동도($({\mu}_H)$ )는 20-$50\textrm{cm}^2$/V.sec이었다. 비정질 및 결정질 IZO 박막내의 주된 전자의 충돌 과정은 이온화된 불순물과 격자 충돌로 추정된다. IZO 박막의 가시광 영역(400<$\lambda$<700mm)의 광투과도는 80%이상이었고 $T_s$가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였다.
