Abstract

Low valence vanadium oxide thin film was deposited on ordinary glass substrates by direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering from a vanadium metal target. And then it was annealed in an atmosphere of oxygen/argon mixture at the temperature of 450°C for 2hours to obtain VO2thin film possessing the ability of phase transition. The XRD patterns and resistance-temperature (R-T) curves of the film before and after the annealing were given. The results show that: the as-deposited film, whose main component is V2O3, presents no phase transition and its resistance changes from 1.26 kΩ~1.01kΩ while its temperature rising from room temperature to 80°C; the annealed film, whose main component is VO2, presents a phase transition when its temperature rising from room temperature to 80°C and its resistance changes from 10kΩ to 60Ω, more than two orders. And the phase transition temperature of the film deposited is only 30°C.
