Abstract
Herein, we performed a comparative study of plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) of SnO2 films using Sn(dmamp)2 as the Sn source and either H2O plasma or O2 plasma as the oxygen source in a wide temperature range of 100–300 °C. Since the type of oxygen source employed in PEALD determines the growth behavior and resultant film properties, we investigated the growth feature of both SnO2 PEALD processes and the various chemical, structural, morphological, optical, and electrical properties of SnO2 films, depending on the oxygen source. SnO2 films from Sn(dmamp)2/H2O plasma (SH-SnO2) and Sn(dmamp)2/O2 plasma (SO-SnO2) showed self-limiting atomic layer deposition (ALD) growth behavior with growth rates of ~0.21 and 0.07–0.13 nm/cycle, respectively. SO-SnO2 films showed relatively larger grain structures than SH-SnO2 films at all temperatures. Interestingly, SH-SnO2 films grown at high temperatures of 250 and 300 °C presented porous rod-shaped surface morphology. SO-SnO2 films showed good electrical properties, such as high mobility up to 27 cm2 V−1·s−1 and high carrier concentration of ~1019 cm−3, whereas SH-SnO2 films exhibited poor Hall mobility of 0.3–1.4 cm2 V−1·s−1 and moderate carrier concentration of 1 × 1017–30 × 1017 cm−3. This may be attributed to the significant grain boundary and hydrogen impurity scattering.
