The effect of chlorine plasma treatment on electron ic properties of GIZO grown on SiO2/Si by RF magnetron sputtering was investigated usi ng X- ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), reflection el ectron energy loss spectroscopy (REELS), and secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS). SIMS depth profiles indicated that the concentration of InO and ZnO on the surface was decreased after Cl 2 plasma treatment. REELS data showed that the band gap increased from 3.4 to 3.7 eV. XPS showed that Ind 5/2 and Zn2p 3/2 shifted to the higher binding energies by 0.5 eV and 0.3 eV, respe ctively. These phenomena were caused by oxygen deficiency and hydrocarbon contamination reduction as indicated by Cl atom bonding with In and Zn cations that are present on the surface after Cl 2 plasma treatment.
