Abstract

Vanadium thin films were deposited on silicon nitride substrates by direct current facing targets magnetron sputtering, and then were annealed in room air ambient to form the vanadium oxide(VO_x) thin films. The VO_x thin films made by this way have high TCR(Temperature Coefficient of Resistance) near room temperature. Compared with reactive sputtering^[1,2], the metal-oxygenation method needs fewer preparative parameters which are very easy to control. The main target of this paper is to study the electrical property of the VO_x thin films, especially the relationship between the TCR of VO_x thin films and their preparative parameters. Orthogonal experiment was used to choose optimal preparative parameters, which include sputtering pressure, sputtering time, annealing time and annealing temperature. Then the resistance-temperature property was measured, and the results show that the VO_x thin film which was prepared after sputtered at 1.5 Pa for 20 minutes at room temperature and annealed at 400°C for 1.5h has the best resistance-temperature property. And near room temperature, its TCR is -3.25%/K, which is twice as much as that of metal material. And the VO_x thin film has potential application in uncooled infrared microbolometer^[3~5].
