ZrO2 thin films were deposited on glass substrates via RF magnetron sputtering technique and post-deposition annealing treatment.The films transmittance and surface structure were investigated by means of Ultraviolet spectrophotometer, AFM and XRD. The effect of annealing on the optical properties of the films has been studied as well.The research result indicates that the size of ZrO2 film grain obviously gets bigger, the surface is more smooth and transmission rate increases after 800°C, annealing 30min.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
