Abstract:
We fabricated InGaZnO (IGZO) ceramic target (In: Ga: Zn = 1: 1: 4 in atomic ratio) using solid-state reaction at ambient atmosphere, and deposited IGZO thin films on quartz glass at room temperature under various oxygen partial pressures using the pulsed laser deposition method. Influence of oxygen pressure on crystal structure, surface morphology, optical and electrical properties were investigated. It was found that all the films deposited at room temperature exhibit amorphous structure. On the other hand, the physical properties of the films like transparency, electron mobility, and free-electron concentration were found to be correlated to the oxygen pressure during the deposition and in turn to the possible oxygen vacancies or metallic interstitials in the films. The analysis of X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) of the films indicated that there are no metallic 3d states of In, Ga and Zn, suggesting that oxygen vacancies could be main defects that affect physical properties of the films.
