Abstract:To obtain low-resistance metal-doped ZnO film with a uniform resistivity distribution, a combination of short-gap magnetron sputtering and a buffer layer is proposed. The influence of the distance between the target and the substrate (T-S distance) on properties such as the thickness, resistivity, carrier density, carrier mobility, and crystallinity of Ga-doped ZnO thin films deposited by conventional RF planar magnetron sputtering was investigated. As the T-S distance decreased, the film resistivity remarkabl… Show more
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.
