Abstract

The effect of the addition of a non-thermal energy source during deposition, in this case, an ultra violet (UV) mercury lamp, on the microstructures of pulsed laser deposited indium tin oxide films was investigated. It was found that the UV source has the ability to increase the oxygen content and crystallinity of the deposited film through the added contribution of atomic oxygen and ozone into the deposited material at relatively low processing temperatures. Comparisons between the UV and non-UV grown films were made in order to judge the effectiveness of the UV radiation in achieving desirable properties.
