Abstract
Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) thin films were deposited from various target densities (98.7%~99.6%) using RF magnetron sputtering. Effect of the sputtering target densities on the structural, electrical and optical properties of deposited ITO thin films was investigated. The preferable (400) crystalline orientation peak was observed on the films deposited from < 99.0% target density. Higher target density produced films with higher roughness but lower resistivity. All of the deposited films showed optical transmittance more than 85% in the visible wavelength region. It is necessary to use the highest target for sputtering deposition of ITO thin films.
