利用自由基辅助磁控溅射法在载玻片衬底上制备了透明导电ZnO:Al薄膜(简称AZO薄膜).研究了氢气气氛中后续退火处理对Al掺杂效率以及AZO薄膜性能的影响.研究结果表明,退火处理提高Al的掺杂效率、降低中性杂质浓度,从而提高了AZO薄膜的导电性能.AZO薄膜550℃下在H2气氛中退火处理后,其电阻率为6.5×10-4Ω·cm,550nm波长的透射率为85.7%,载流子浓度为3.3×1020cm^-3,迁移率为29.7cm^2·V^-1·s^-1.
Transparent conductive ZnO:Al(AZO)films were deposited on glass substrates by radical assisted magnetron sputtering.The effects of post-annealing in hydrogen atmosphere on the Al doping efficiency and properties of AZO films were investigated.It was found that post-annealing treatment improves the Al doping efficiency and reduces the concentration of neutral impurity scattering centers.These two factors together improve the conductivity of AZO films.The resistivity and the transmittance at 550nm of the AZO films annealed in H2at 550℃ were 6.5×10-4Ω·cm and 85.7%,respectively,with carrier concentration being 3.3×1020 cm^-3 and mobility of 29.7cm^2·V-1·s^-1.
