Optically-rough and physically-flat transparent conductive oxides (TCO) substrates were created on glass substrates to promote light absorption of solar cells. Al doped Zn1−xMgxO (AZMO) transparent conductive thin film was etched in CFx based plasma using Samco RIE etcher RIE-10NR. The effects of gas mixture composition on etch rate was investigated.
Samco offers multiple types of RIE etchers from tabletop to 450 mm for various applications (plasma etching, photoresist ashing and plasma treatment). For more information on Samco RIE etcher lineup, please visit the product page below.
