Optimization in Synthesis of ITO Thin Films Fabricated by DC Magnetron Sputtering Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

With high optical transparency and electrical conductivity, ITO thin films were fabricated by DC magnetron sputtering. Series of research and exploration are presented on DC magnetron sputtering method for preparing ITO thin film. With substrate temperature of 60 °C, sputtering power of 200W,sputtering pressure of 1 mTorr, water pressure of 2×10-5Torr, the sheet resistance of the ITO conductive substrate is 53 Ω/□ and the transmittance is 83%.
