Optical Constants of Al-Doped Er2O3 Films Prepared by Radio Frequency Reactive Magnetron Sputtering

Article Preview

Abstract:

Al doped Er2O3 films were deposited on Si(001) substrates by radio frequency magnetron technique. X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy show the Al doped Er2O3 films obtained are amorphous and uniform. The optical constants are studied which shows a proper value of refractive index and a lower reflectivity, indicating it could be a usefully material for solar cells.
