Abstract
Morphology and structure of ZnO films deposited on (0001) sapphire and glass substrates by off-axis sputtering were investigated at various temperatures and pressures. All films show highly textured structures on glass substrates and epitaxial growth on sapphire substrates. The full width at half-maximum of theta rocking curves for epitaxial films is less than 0.5°. In textured films, it rises to several degrees. The trend of surface textures in films grown at low pressures is similar to those grown at high temperatures. A morphology transition from large well-defined hexagonal grains to flat surface was observed at a pressure of 50 mtorr and temperature of 550 °C. The experiment results are explained by the transport behavior of depositing species.
