摘要

This study investigates the effect of sintering temperature on the properties of Mo-doped AZO (MAZO) ceramic targets, fabricated using spark plasma sintering (SPS) at temperatures ranging from 950 to 1350 °C. The results show that increasing the sintering temperature improves both the crystallization and density of the MAZO targets. However, sintering temperatures above 1250 °C lead to the formation of the ZnAl2O4 phase, which negatively impacts the crystallization and electrical properties. The target sintered at 1150 °C exhibited optimal performance, achieving the high density (99.958%) and the low sheet resistance (55 mΩ/□). MAZO films, deposited by RF magnetron sputtering, exhibited excellent optoelectronic properties, with a resistivity of 4.97 × 10–3 Ω·cm and a transmittance of 83.73%, confirming that the sintering temperature of 1150 °C is ideal for both target quality and film performance.
