Abstract

We investigated the effects of facing target-substrate distance (TSD) on the electrical, optical, structural and morphological properties of Al-Ga- Zn-O (AGZO) films grown by linear facing target sputtering (LFTS) at room temperature to optimize the TSD. Although the optimal TSD for depositing an AGZO film was 3 cm, based on figure of merit values, a longer TSD prevents plasma damage of the AGZO films. The AGZO film sputtered under optimized conditions had a sheet resistance of 132 Ohm/square and an optical transmittance of 87.2%. Based on the electrical, optical, structural, and surface properties of AGZO films grown at different TSDs, we suggest a possible mechanism to explain the effects TSD on properties of hetero-sputtered AGZO films prepared by LFTS process.
