摘要: Abstract ZnO films are deposited on (0 0 0 1) sapphire and quartz substrates using the off-axis reactive magnetron sputtering deposition. Based film thickness measurements, three transport regions of sputtered particles observed when in pressure 5–150 mTorr. X-ray diffraction, scanning probes microscopy, electrical measurements also used to characterize these films. The full-width at half-maximum θ-rocking curves for epitaxial is less than 0.5°. In textured films, it rises several degrees. high reveal a flat surface with some hexagonal facets. density facets decreases growth reduced. resistivity depends pressures. A relationship between effects properties discussed.
