To date, we have reported the dominant factors limiting carrier transport and electrical conductivity of amorphous and polycrystalline indium oxide (In2O3)-based conductive thin films. As-deposited amorphous films are deposited on glass substrates without intentionally heating of them by reactive plasma deposition with dc arc discharge. This work focuses on ultra-thin as-deposited amorphous W-doped In2O3 (IWO) conductive films with thicknesses ranging from 3 to 7 nm and 7-nm-thick polycrystalline IWO films obtained after the postannealing. We carried out thermal annealing (200 ℃, 30 min) under atmospheric pressure conditions. From both the temperature dependence of the oxygen species adsorbed on the IWO film surface to be expected and the thickness dependence of the postannealing effects on the structural and electrical properties, we will elucidate the factors governing the electrical properties, and propose the issues to achieve high carrier transport.
