Chemical Vapor Deposition 14 (1-2) : 9-13. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1002/cvde.200706645 | Abstract: | CuO:In thin films were prepared by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (CVD) with Cu(acac)2 and In(acac)3 precursors. A unique method or facility in vaporizing solid-state precursors and the transportation to the CVD reactor was described. The structure of the films evolved from nano-crystalline characteristic to amorphous state as the In/Cu atomic ratio of the mixed precursors increased from 0 to 0.25. A dependence of the resistivity of the films on the indium concentration was found. A low room-temperature resistivity of 7.35 Ω·cm was achieved for the sample of an In/Cu atomic ratio of 0.08, with an activation energy of 0.14 eV. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study excluded the possibility that the increased conductivity of the samples came from a reduction of Cu2+ to Cu+. Positive holes (h.) induced by negatively charged defect complex (InCu . + V″Cu) were assumed to contribute to the increase of conductivity. © 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
