▲ [14a-213-3] Deposition of Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) Film on ZEOCOAT® Layer by Reactive Sputtering
Keywords:Reactive Sputtering, YSZ thin film, X-ray diffraction
Yttrium Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) has been reported to be effective to stimulate crystallization of amorphous Si (a-Si). ZEOCOAT® has good prospect as a thermal and electrical insulator in the field of flexible electronics for prevention of heat damage of organic substrates. YSZ films have been deposited on ZEOCOAT® layers with/without a thin metallic film by reactive sputtering using Ar and O2 as sputtering and reactive gases, respectively. The crystalline property of YSZ films on ZEOCOAT® layers with/without a metallic film has been studied using X-ray diffraction technique. It has been observed that direct deposition of YSZ on ZEOCOAT® produced an amorphous film while deposition of a thin metallic film on ZEOCOAT® promoted crystallinity of YSZ to some extent.
