Abstract
Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films were deposited by magnetron sputtering with different oxygen flows rates (%O2 = 1 % to 0 %). The films were deposited by RF discharge in argon/oxygen atmosphere with a RF power W = 150 W at substrate temperature T = 175° C and pressure P = 6 mTorrs. Photoelectric parameters of fabricated ITO films were characterized by four-point probe method and transmittance measurements. It was found that reducing oxygen concentration the sheet resistance decreases. For samples fabricated in oxygen atmosphere the transmittance reached values above 90 %. However, the sample with post-deposition thermal treatment at T = 300 °C in oxygen atmosphere shows the best transmittance (95 %) and lowest value of sheet resistance (Rs= 27 ohms-square). Finally, the transparent conducting oxides were applied in hybrid organic-inorganic photovoltaic structures. The best power conversion efficiency in AM-1 sunlight η = 2.13 % was obtained for a structure with ITO fabricated at oxygen concentration %O2 = 0.25 % in comparison with an efficiency η = 1.87 % obtained for a structure fabricated with commercial ITO.
