Abstract :
Molybdenum thin films are widely used for photovoltaic cells and thin film transistor liquid crystal displays (TFT-LCD) due to their relatively low electrical resistance and easy chemical patterning. In this study thin films of molybdenum oxide were deposited on glass and crystalline silicon substrates using Magnetron sputtering method by sputtering of molybdenum target in the presence of oxygen and argon gas mixture. The effect of oxygen partial pressure of Ar/Oxygen on the structure, optical and electrical properties of the films was systematically studied.
