Abstract

The characteristics of indium tin oxide (ITO) films grown at room temperature on (100) Si and Coming glass substrates by an in situ ultraviolet-assisted pulsed laser deposition (UVPLD) technique have been investigated. The most important parameter, which influenced the optical and electrical properties of the grown films, was the oxygen pressure. For oxygen pressure below 1 mtorr, films were metallic, with very low optical transmittance and rather high resistivity values. The resistivity value decreased when using higher oxygen pressures while the optical transmittance increased. The optimum oxygen pressure was found to be around 10 mtorr. For higher oxygen pressures, the optical transmittance was better but a rapid degradation of the electrical conductivity was noticed. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy investigations showed that ITO films grown at 10 mtorr oxygen are fully oxidized. All of the grown films were amorphous regardless of the oxygen pressure used.
