Abstract

Iron-doped indium-tin oxide (ITO) thin films with reduced to 50% mass indi-um oxide content are deposited onto glass substrates preheated at 523 K by co-sputtering of ITO and Fe2O3 targets in mixed argon-oxygen atmosphere. The influence of different radio frequency (RF) plasma power for deposition of Fe2O3 target on the electrical, optical, structural, and morphological properties of the films is investigated by means of four point probe, Ultraviolet– Visible–Infrared (UV–Vis–IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy methods. The volume resistivity of 930 µΩ⋅cm and trans-mittance over 85% are obtained for thin films sputtered under optimum con-ditions. Iron doping results in significant improvement in films transmit-tance and increasing the crystallization temperature of ITO thin films.
