Abstract

A radio frequency magnetron co-sputtering technique exploiting GaTe and ${\rm Sb}_2 {\rm Te}_3$ targets was used for the fabrication of Ga–Sb–Te thin films. Prepared layers cover broad region of chemical composition (${\sim}{10.0 {-} 26.3}\,\, {\rm at.}$ % of Ga, ${\sim}{19.9 {-} 34.4}\,\, {\rm at.}$ % of Sb) while keeping Te content fairly constant (53.8–55.6 at. % of Te). Upon crystallization induced by annealing, large variations in electrical contrast were found, reaching a sheet resistance ratio of ${{R}_{\rm annealed}}/{{R}_{\rm as - deposited}}\;\sim{2.2} \times {{10}^{ - 8}}$ for the ${{\rm Ga}_{26.3}}{{\rm Sb}_{19.9}}{{\rm Te}_{53.8}}$ layer. Phase transition from the amorphous to crystalline state further leads to huge changes of optical functions demonstrated by optical contrast values up to $|\Delta n| + |\Delta k| = {4.20}$ for ${{\rm Ga}_{26.3}}{{\rm Sb}_{19.9}}{{\rm Te}_{53.8}}$ composition.
