Yttria-stabilised zirconia (YSZ) is a technically widely used oxygen ion conductor employed for example in oxygen sensors and solid oxide fuel cells. For these applications the film properties such as the crystal structure and ion conductivity are of major interest. YSZ thin films were deposited from a ceramic target with 9.5 mol% Y2O3 by RF sputtering on silicon (004) and fused silica substrats. The films were investigated by 4-circle XRD measurements to determine whether the crystal structure is cubic or tetragonal. Scanning electron microscopy was used to inspect the grain size of the films. Impedance spectroscopy measurements were performed to quantify the oxygen ion conduction.
