Abstract
Thin indium tin oxide (ITO) films were grown at room temperature on (100) Si and Corning glass by an in situ ultraviolet-assisted pulsed laser deposition (UVPLD) technique. The oxygen pressure during the growth markedly influenced the properties of the films. For oxygen pressure below 1 mTorr, films exhibited very low optical transmittance and high resistivity. The resistivity decreased when using higher oxygen pressures while the optical transmittance increased. For a target-substrate distance of 10.5 cm, the optimum oxygen pressure was found to be around 10 mTorr. For higher oxygen pressures, the optical transmittance was higher but a rapid increase of the electrical resistivity was noticed. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that ITO films grown at 10 mTorr were fully oxidized. All grown films were amorphous regardless of the oxygen pressure used.
