The dependence of the photoluminescence (PL) and transmittance properties of the AZO films deposited by cosputtering and sputtering on the AZO/ZnO target power ratio, R and the O2/Ar flow ratio, r were investigated, respectively. Only a deep level emission peak appears in the PL spectra of cosputtered AZO films whereas both UV emission and deep level emission peaks are observed in the PL spectra of sputtered AZO films. The absorption edges in the transmittance spectra of the AZO films shift to the lower wavelength region as R and r increase. Effects of crystallinity, surface roughness, PL on the transmittance of the AZO films were also explained using the X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and PL analysis results.展开更多

ITO films were deposited on glass and silicon substrate. Electrical, optical, structural and morphological properties of the ITO films were investigated in terms of the preparation conditions. The annealing treatment has improved the properties of the ITO films at different degree. The maximum transmittance of the obtained ITO films in the visible range is over 92%, and the low resistivity for the ITO films are about 3.85×10-4 Ω·cm at 80 ℃, 80 W after annealing.展开更多
