Abstract

The structural characteristics of transparent and conducting thin films of tin doped indium oxide (ITO) have been studied by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. The ITO films have been prepared by radio frequency sputtering employing a planar magnetron configuration. The effects of variation of substrate temperature and annealing have been studied. Films deposited at substrate temperatures up to 230ο C show a marked (1 1 0) preferred orientation, whereas those deposited at 330ο C are preferentially oriented in the (3 1 1) direction. Transmission electron micrographs of ITO films deposited on KCI crystals show the possible effects of strain on the structure, which are minimized to a great extent by annealing.
