Electrical Properties of DC-Sputtered Amorphous InGaZnO4 Films

Article Preview

Abstract:

Electrical properties in dc-sputtered amorphous InGaZnO4 films have been investigated using the thermopower and resistivity measurements. The amorphous InGaZnO4 films show n-type conduction at room temperature, and electrical activation energy of ~0.47 eV. The resistivity and Seebeck coefficient at room temperature were ~2×104 Ωm and 1.5 mV/K for as-deposited sample. The resistivity and Seebeck coefficient decreased to ~2×100 Ω·m and 2.7 mV/K when the sample was annealed at 670770 K. Slow response of photocurrent was also observed. Partial crystallization and structural change cause the improvement of electron transport with annealing treatments.
