Electrophysical studies of ITO films
The paper presents the results of a study of the electrophysical characteristics of ITO films obtained by magnetron sputtering. It was shown that high-temperature annealing contributes to a significant increase in the ITO films’ electrical conductivity, owing to two processes. First, the high-temperature processing of ITO films after their synthesis promotes a crystalline structure formation, which increases the mobility of charge carriers. Second, as a result of high-temperature annealing, the impurity in ITO films becomes fully electrically active, which leads to an increase in the conduction electrons concentration and to a change in the electrical conductivity mechanism from semiconductor to metal.
