S. Honda et al., DEPTH PROFILING OF OXYGEN CONCENTRATION OF INDIUM TIN OXIDE-FILMS FABRICATED BY REACTIVE SPUTTERING, JPN J A P 2, 33(9A), 1994, pp. 120001257-120001260
Depth profiling of the oxygen concentration of indium tin oxide (ITO)
films on glass substrates has been investigated using a high-energy io
n beam. Hot-cathode Penning-discharge sputtering (HC-PDS) in the mixed
gases of argon and oxygen was applied to fabricate the films. It is f
ound that there is a correlation between the depth profile of oxygen c
oncentration and the electrical properties. The effect of partial pres
sures of oxygen gas on the depth profile of the oxygen concentration a
nd on electrical properties is discussed.
