Abstract

Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) thin films were prepared by RF magnetron sputtering with different flow rates of O2 gas from 0 to 12 sccm. Electrical and optical properties of these films were characterized and analyzed. ITO deposited on soda lime glass and RF power was 2 kW, frequency was 13.56 MHz, and working pressure was 1.0×10-3 Torr, Ar gas was fixed at 1,000 sccm. The transmittance was measured at 300∼1,100 nm ranges by using Photovoltaic analysis system. Electrical properties were measured by Hall measurement
system. ITO thin films surface were measured by Scanning electron microscope. Atomic force microscope surface roughness scan for ITO thin films. ITO thin films secondary electron emission coefficient(γ) was measured by γ-Focused ion beam. The resistivity is about 2.4×10-4 Ωㆍcm and the weighted average transmittance is about 84.93% at 3 sccm oxygen flow rate. Also, we investigated Work-function of ITO thin films by using Auger neutralization mechanism according to secondary electron emission coefficient(γ) values.
We confirmed secondary electron emission peak at 3 sccm oxygen flow rate.
