ITO powders were produced by chemical co-precipitation and shaped into an ITO green compact with a relative density of 60% by CIP under 300 MPa. Then, an ITO target with a relative density larger than 99.6% was obtained by sintering this green compact at 1550℃ for 8 h. The effects of forming pressure, sintering temperature and sintering time on the density of the target were inves- tigated. Also, a discussion was made on the sintering atmosphere.展开更多

The electrical, structural and chemical characteristics of ITO films were analyzed by the Hall Technique, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. XPS studies suggest that all the ITO films consist of crystalline and amorphous phases. The degree of crystallinity increases from less than 45% to more than 90% when the substrate temperature increases from 80 to 300 ℃. The In and Sn exist in the chemical state of In^3+ and Sn^4+, respectively, independent of substrate type and temperature. The enrichment of Sn on surface and In in body of ITO films are also revealed. And, the oxygen deficient regions exist both in surface layer and film body. For ITO films deposited under 180 ℃ , the carrier concentration are mainly provided by oxygen vacancies, and the dominant electron carrier scattering mechanism is grain boundary scattering between the crystal and the amorphous grain. For ITO films deposited over 180 ℃, the carrier concentration are provided by tin doping, and the dominant scattering mechanism transforms from grain boundary scattering between the crystal grains to ionized impurity scattering with increasing deposition temperature.展开更多
