Abstract

An electron beam evaporation method has been used to prepare tin doped indium oxide (ITO) films with 95 wt.% In2O3 and 5 wt.% SnO2 in an oxygen atmosphere. It was found that the deposition rate and oxygen pressure strongly influence the film properties when the substrate temperature was lower than 200°C. In an optimal condition, highly transparent (transmittance ˜ 90% at wavelength 570 nm) and conductive (resistivity – 3×10−4Ω-cm) films of thickness around 2000 Å at substrate temperature as low as 180°C can be obtained.
