Effects of deposition pressure on the properties of transparent conductive ZnO:Ga films prepared by DC reactive magnetron sputtering

Gallium (Ga)-doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Ga) transparent conductive films were deposited on glass substrates by DC reactive magnetron sputtering. Effects of deposition pressure on the structural, electrical and optical properties of ZnO:Ga films were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies show that the films are highly oriented with their crystallographic c-axis perpendicular to the substrate almost independent of the deposition pressure. The morphology of the film is sensitive to the deposition pressure. The transmittance of the ZnO:Ga thin films is over 90% in the visible range and the lowest resistivity of ZnO:Ga films is 4.48×10⁻⁴ Ω cm.

DC Magnetron-Sputtered Mo Thin Films with High Adhesion,Conductivity and Reflectance

The main challenge in the deposition of molybdenum thin films for high efficiency in copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) modules lies in gaining an adherent coating without compromising conductivity and reflectance characteristics. In this study, Mo thin films were deposited on soda-lime glass by DC magnetron sputtering at different deposition power (55, 100, 200 and 300 W) and with high working gas pressure (2 and 4 Pa). Analytical techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Hall effect were employed to analyze the structure, morphology and electrical resistivity of the deposited films. Ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectrometry was performed to measure the reflectance and a cross-hatch adhesion tape test was employed to determine the adhesion behavior of deposited films. With higher sputtering power and reduced gas pressure, an increase in the crystallite size of the deposited films was observed. Films deposited at higher gas pressure were found with tensile stresses and higher adhesion with the substrate. The van der Pauw method reveals an increase in conductivity at high power and low gas pressure. Improved reflectance was achieved at moderate sputtering power and low gas pressure.     

Magnetron sputter deposition of A-15 and bcc crystal structure tungsten thin films

The effect of processing parameters on the crystal structure and electrical resistivity of magnetron sputter deposited tungsten thin films was investigated. Formation of body centered cubic (bcc) W was favored when the concentration of impurity oxygen atoms in the films was <5 at.% while the formation of A-15 W was favored between 6 and 10 at.% oxygen. A transition from A-15 W films to bcc W films occurred as the oxygen was removed from the deposition chamber by presputtering the target for extended periods of time. The binding energies of the W atoms in A-15 and bcc W films are similar, as is the binding energy of the O atoms in the two different crystal structures, indicating that the oxygen is not present as a tungsten oxide compound. The resistivity of A-15 W films is always higher than the resistivity of bcc W films due to the increased oxygen concentration and small grain size of the A-15 films. However, the sputter deposition pressure is found to have a greater effect on resistivity. This is attributed to the formation of cracks in the film.     

High rate (~7 nm/s), atmospheric pressure deposition of ZnO front electrode for Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin‐film solar cells with efficiency beyond 15%

Undoped zinc oxide (ZnO) films have been grown on a moving glass substrate by plasma‐enhanced chemical vapor deposition at atmospheric pressure. High deposition rates of ~7 nm/s are achieved at low temperature (200 °C) for a substrate speed from 20 to 60 mm/min. ZnO films are highly transparent in the visible range (90%). By a short (~minute) post‐deposition exposure to near‐ultraviolet light, a very low resistivity value of 1.6·10⁻³ Ω cm for undoped ZnO is achieved, which is independent on the film thickness in the range from 180 to 1200 nm. The photo‐enhanced conductivity is stable in time at room temperature when ZnO is coated by an Al₂O₃ barrier film, deposited by the industrially scalable spatial atomic layer deposition technique. ZnO and Al₂O₃ films have been used as front electrode and barrier, respectively, in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar cells. An average efficiency of 15.4 ± 0.2% (15 cells) is obtained that is similar to the efficiency of CIGS reference cells in which sputtered ZnO:Al is used as electrode.

Synthesis and characterization of phosphorus-doped ZnO and (Zn,Mg)O thin films via pulsed laser deposition

The transport and optical properties of phosphorus-doped (Zn,Mg)O thin films grown via pulsed laser deposition (PLD) are studied. The carrier type of as-deposited (Zn,Mg)O:P films converts from n-type to p-type with increasing oxygen partial pressure. All the films exhibit good crystallinity with c-axis orientation. This result indicates the importance of oxidation conditions in realizing p-type (Zn,Mg)O:P films. The as-deposited ZnO:P film properties show a strong dependence on the deposition ambient at different growth temperatures. The resistivity of the samples deposited in O₃/O₂ mixture is two orders of magnitude higher than the films grown in oxygen and O₂/Ar/H₂ mixture. The room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) of the as-deposited films has been shown that growing in the O₂/Ar/H₂ mixture ambient significantly increases the band edge emission while inhibiting the visible emission. The enhanced ultraviolet (UV) emission in the films grown in O₂/Ar/H₂ mixture may result from hydrogen passivation of the deep level emission centers. The annealed ZnO:P films are n-type with nonlinear dependence of resistivity on annealing temperature. The resistivity increases in the films with annealing at 800°C while decreasing with further increasing annealing temperature. Strong visible light emission is observed from the ZnO:P films annealed in oxygen.

Deposition and characterization of molybdenum thin films using dc-plasma magnetron sputtering

Molebdenum (Mo) thin films were deposited on well-cleaned soda-lime glass substrates using DC-plasma magnetron sputtering. In the design of experiment deposition was optimized for maximum beneficial characteristics by monitoring effect of process variables such as deposition power (100–200 W). Their electrical, structural and morphological properties were analyzed to study the effect of these variables. The electrical resistivity of Mo thin films could be reduced by increasing deposition power. Within the range of analyzed deposition power, Mo thin films showed a mono crystalline nature and the crystallites were found to have an orientation along [110] direction. The surface morphology of thin films showed that a highly dense micro structure has been obtained. The surface roughness of films increased with deposition power. The adhesion of Mo thin films could be improved by increasing the deposition power. Atomic force microscopy was used for the topographical study of the films and to determine the roughness of the films. X-ray diffractrometer and scanning electron microscopy analysis were used to investigate the crystallinity and surface morphology of the films. Hall effect measurement system was used to find resistivity, carrier mobility and carrier density of deposited films. The adhesion test was performed using scotch hatch tape adhesion test. Mo thin films prepared at deposition power of 200 W, substrate temperature of 23°C and Ar pressure of 0.0123 mbar exhibited a mono crystalline structure with an orientation along (110) direction, thickness of ～550 nm and electrical resistivity value of 0.57 × 10^?4 Ω cm.     

ZnO films deposited on GaAs substrates with a SiO2 thin buffer layer

Sputter deposition of ZnO films on GaAs substrates has been investigated. ZnO films were radio frequency (rf)-magnetron sputter deposited on GaAs substrates with or without SiO₂ thin buffer layers. Deposition parameters such as rf power, substrate-target distance, and gas composition/pressure were optimized to obtain highly c-axis oriented and highly resistive films. Deposited films were characterized by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), capacitance, and resistivity measurements. Thermal stability of sputter-deposited ZnO films (0.5–2.0 μm thick) was tested with a post-deposition heat treatment at 430°C for 10 min, which is similar to a standard ohmic contact alloying condition for GaAs. The ZnO/SiO₂/GaAs films tolerated the heat treatment well while the ZnO/GaAs films disintegrated. The resistivity (10¹¹ Ω-cm) of the ZnO films on SiO₂-buffered GaAs substrates remained high during the heat treatment. The post-deposition anneal treatment also enhances c-axis orientation of the ZnO films dramatically and relieves intrinsic stress almost completely. These improvements are attributed to a reduction of grain boundaries and voids with the anneal treatment as supported by SEM and x-ray diffraction measurement results.
