Abstract

Zinc oxide (ZnO) films deposited on indium (In) films were post-annealed in a rapid thermal anealing (RTA) system. The ZnO/In films were RTA-treated in air or a vacuum ambient. The crystallographic properties and surface morphologies of the films were studied before and after the RTA by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The resistivity variation of the films with RTA temperature and time was measured by the 4-point probe method. Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) was carried out to figure out the redistribution of indium atoms in the ZnO films. The resistivity of the ZnO/In films decreased to 2$\times$10$\^$-3/ Ωcm by diffusion of the In. The In diffusion into the ZnO films roughened the surface of ZnO films. The results of depth profile by AES showed a hump of In atoms around ZnO/In interface after the RTA at 800 $\^{C}$. The effects of temperature time and ambient during the RTA on the structural and electrical properties of the ZnO/In films were discussed.
