Studies Of The Effect Of Post Deposition Annealing To The Ceo2 Thin Film On P-Type Silicon And N-Type Silicon Carbide Substrates

Cerium Oxide (CeO2) thin film has been deposited on silicon (Si) and silicon carbide (SiC) substrates using a radio frequency magnetron sputtering technique. The effect of post deposition annealing at different temperatures (400, 600, 800 and 1000oC) in argon (Ar) ambient for 30 minutes has been inv...
