ABSTRACT

Indium tin oxide (ITO) films with various oxygen partial pressure from 0 to 6 × 10−5Pa were prepared ontopolyethylene terephthalate (PET) using RF magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The structural, electrical and opticalproperties of the grown ITO films were investigated as a function of the oxygen partial pressure. The amorphous nature ofthe ITO films was dominant at the partial pressure below 1 × 10−5Pa and the degree of crystallinity increased as theoxygen concentration increased further. This structural change comes with the increased carrier concentration and reductionof the electrical resistivity down to 9.8 × 10−4Ω · cm. The average transmittance (at 400~800 nm) of the ITO deposited onthe PET substrates increased as the oxygen partial pressure increased and transmittance above 80 % was achieved with thepartial pressure of 4 × 10−5Pa. The results show that the choice of optimal oxygen partial pressure can present improvedfilm crystallinity, the increased carrier concentration, and the enhancement in the electrical conductivity.
