Abstract

Transparent conductive oxide films have been widely used in the field of flat panel display (FPD). Transparent conductive Indium Zinc Oxide (IZO) thin films with excellent chemical stability have attracted much attention as an alternative material for Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) films. In this study, using $In_2O_3$ and ZnO powder mixture with a ratio of 90 : 10 wt% as a target, IZO films are prepared on polynorbornene (PNB) substrates by electron beam evaporation. The effect of thickness and $O_2$ introduction flow rate on the optical, electrical, structural properties and surface composition of deposited IZO films were investigated by UV/Visible spectrophotometer, 4-point probe method, SEM, XRD and XPS.

Transparent conducting oxide (TCO) 박막은 평판 디스플레이 산업에 널리 사용되고 있다. 화학적으로 우수한 투명전도성 Indium Zinc Oxide (IZO) 필름은 Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) 필름의 대체 물질로 관심을 끌고 있다. 본 연구에서는 90 : 10 wt%의 $In_2O_3$와 ZnO를 혼합하여 만든 타겟으로 전자빔 증착법을 이용하여 polynorbornene (PNB) 기판 위에 IZO 박막을 제조하였다. UV/Visible spectrophotometer, 4-Point Probe를 이용하여 증착 두께와 산소도입 속도에 따른 IZO 필름의 전기적 및 광학적 특성을 연구하였으며, SEM, XRD 및 XPS를 이용하여 증착된 IZO의 구조적 특성 및 표면조성비를 연구하였다.
