    In this report, we present sputtered zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films grown with different argon (Ar) and oxygen (O<inf>2</inf>) gas-timing sequence. Metallic zinc (Zn) with 5N-purity was used as a sputtering target, while Ar and O <inf>2</inf> of 6N-purity were used as the bombard and reactive gases, respectively. The crystalline orientation, surface morphology, chemical composition, optical and electrical properties of deposited ZnO thin films were determined by XRD,AFM and UV-VIS measurement, respectively. The XRD result implied that deposition ZnO thin films at different O<inf>2</inf> gas-timing control corresponded to the (002) plane of hexagonal ZnO structure at 2θ = 34.4°. Furthermore, when the reactive time of O<inf>2</inf> was increased, the transmittance of ZnO thin films exhibited the energy gap increase from ∼2.95 to ∼3.18 eV, whereas the surface roughness was found to decrease. Finally, ZnO thin films were oxidized after the deposition. © (2010) Trans Tech Publications.

    This work investigates changes in the chemical composition of InON thin films, grown by reactive gas-timing rf magnetron sputtering with different O<inf>2</inf>:N<inf>2</inf> timing ratio characterized by Auger Electron Microscope (AES), Raman Spectroscopy which are well correlated with the electrical properties of films. The existence of nitrogen and oxygen in the deposited InON thin films was revealed by AES. Two Raman active optical phonons have been clearly observed and assigned to InN E<inf>1</inf>(TO) at ∼470 cm<sup>-1</sup> and E<inf>1</inf>(LO) at ∼570 cm<sup>-1</sup> and also shifted with different O<inf>2</inf>:N<inf>2</inf> timing ratio. The carrier mobility of InON thin films was decreased when the ratio of O<inf>2</inf>:N <inf>2</inf> timing is increased. © (2010) Trans Tech Publications.

    The AlON films grown on Si(100) substrates by using radio frequency (r.f.) magnetron sputtering from high purity aluminum (99.999% Al) target with a novel reactive gas-timing technique. The 100 nm thick of AlON films were deposited with 200 watts r.f. power and the substrate temperature is maintained at room temperature by the technique of gas-timing which varying flow-in sequence of high purity of Ar (99.999%) and N<inf>2</inf> (99.9999%) gases fed into the sputtering chamber at 10:90 (sec) ratio. The composition and crystal orientation of AlON films affected by gas-timing of Ar and N<inf>2</inf> were analyzed by Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) and Xray diffraction (XRD). The oxygen atoms revealed by AES formed into a corporation in films was studied. This suggests that the oxygen contamination formed as A10<inf>x</inf>N<inf>y</inf> compound may due to the residual oxygen in base pressure of 10<sup>-7</sup> mbar and higher reactivity of oxygen in the reactor compared to nitrogen. The gas-timing technique used in the sputtering growth system shows the advantage of the oxygen quantity control, while the general sputtering process (without gas-timing technique) shows an increase of the oxygen composition depended on film thickness. The characterizations results clearly indicate that the gas-timing r.f. magnetron sputtering technique plays an important role to control the incorporation of oxygen and to form the nanocrystalaluminum oxynitride films which very attractive for various sensors applications. © 2008 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
