研究目的
Investigating the effects of RF power and Ar + H2 flow rate on the electrical and optical properties of hydrogenated gallium-doped zinc oxide (HGZO) thin films deposited on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates at room temperature for potential application in polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) devices.
研究成果
Highly transparent and conductive HGZO thin films were successfully deposited on PET substrates by RF magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The optimized process parameters resulted in films with a resistivity of 7.1 × 10?4 ?·cm and an average transmittance of 77.3% at 400–800 nm. The HGZO film is a suitable electrode candidate for PDLC devices.
研究不足
The study is limited to room-temperature deposition processes and the effects of RF power and Ar + H2 flow rate on HGZO thin films. Potential areas for optimization include further reducing resistivity and improving optical properties.
