Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) as an oxygen ion conductor is widely used in technical applications like solid oxide fuel cells for example. The question of film stability and structure is important for increasing the efficiency of these films. In this work YSZ thin films have been prepared by radio frequency (RF) sputter deposition on float glass substrates using a ceramic YSZ target doped with 9.5 mol% yttria and argon as sputtering gas. Several process parameters such as substrate temperature, RF power level, process gas flow rate and the amount of additional oxygen as reactive gas have been varied. The influence of these variations on the structure of the YSZ thin films has been investigated using (among others) scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction, and optical absorption spectroscopy.
