Abstract:Vanadium oxide thin films were prepared by DC magnetron sputtering on glass and Si substrates respectively and then annealed in the air atmosphere and vacumm. The resistors of the films were measured before and after annealing. XRD patterns of the samples show that V2O5 thin films are obtained both on glass and Si substrates. After annealing in the air, the degree of crystallinity of the films is significantly enhanced, and the resistor of the thin films grown on Si substrate is significantly reduced while that of the films grown on glass changes little. The resistor of thin films on Si ranges from 56 to 0.54MΩ with temperature change. After annealing in the vacuum, the resistors of thin films grown both on glass and Si are significantly reduced and the range of variation is 52~16MΩ and 4.3~0.46MΩ, respectively. It is concluded that the films grown on Si substrate own better electric properties.
