Fabrication and Characterization of RF Magnetron Sputtered Silicon Oxide Films

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work, silicon dioxide (SiO2) films were fabricated on indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass substrates by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering deposition technique. The deposition rate of the magnetron sputtered SiO2 films was investigated. The SiO2 films were characterized with the atomic force microscopy (AFM) for their surface topology. In addition, the electrical insulating strength of the magnetron sputtered SiO2 was examined.
