Abstract

본 연구에서는 상온에서 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링 법으로 유리 기판위에 증착된 Ga 도핑 된 다결정 ZnO 박막의 특성을 개선하기 위하여 적정 열처리 조건을 분석하였다. 먼저 박막 성장 후 박막의 특성을 분석하였고 각각 <TEX>$400{\sim}600^{\circ}C$</TEX>에서 30분, 60분간 질소 분위기에서 열처리를 한 후 구조적, 광학적 특성을 평가하였다. XRD와 FE-SEM을 사용하여 열처리온도 변화에 따른 결정입자의 크기의 변화를 관찰하였다. 그 결과 성장된 결정의 크기의 증가와 박막의 결정성이 향상되었음을 확인할 수 있었으며 그로 인해 박막 특성을 중시하는 투명 전도막의 투과도의 향상 또한 확인할 수 있었다. 결론적으로, 본 실험을 통하여 ZnO 성장 후 적절한 열처리를 수행함으로서 GZO 박막을 사용하여 제작된 소자의 특성을 개선할 수 있으리라 판단된다. We have investigated the effect of annealing on the structural and optical properties of polycrystalline Ga doped ZnO (GZO) films grown on glass substrates by RF-magnetron sputter at room temperature. The structural and optical properties of as-grown GZO films were characterized and then samples were annealed at <TEX>$400{\sim}600^{\circ}C$</TEX> in <TEX>$N_2$</TEX> ambient for 30, 60 minutes, respectively. The field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to measure the grain size and the crystalline quality of the films. We found that the crystalline quality was improved and the grain size tends to be increased. The optical properties of GZO thin films were analyzed by UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometers. It is found that optical properties of thin films are increased by annealing and can be used for transparent electrode application. We believe that the appropriate post-growth heat treatment could be contributed to the improvement of GZO-based devices.
