Abstract

The indium oxide thin films were deposited at room temperature by reactive magnetron sputtering in the mixture of oxygen and argon on silicon and oxidized silicon substrates. The influence of the oxygen flow in the reactive mixture and post-deposition annealing on the structural properties were investigated. The as deposited In2O3 films showed a dominating randomly oriented nanocrystalline structure of cubic In2O3. The grain size decreased with increasing oxygen concentration in the plasma. Annealing in reducing atmospheres (vacuum, nitrogen and argon), besides improving the crystallinity, led to a partial cubic to rhombohedral phase transition in the indium oxide films.©2010 FEI STU.
