Thin-films of copper oxide @Cu OA were sputtered from a metallic copper (Cu) target and studied as a function of oxygen partial pressure @O??A. A metallic Cu film with cubic structure obtained from 0{%} O?? has been transformed to cubic CuPO phase for the increase in O?? to 9{%} but then changed to monoclinic CuO phase (for O?? PS7). The variation in crystallite size (calculated from x-ray diffraction data) was further substantiated by the variation in grain size (surface microstruc- tures). The Cu O films produced with O?? ranging between 9{%} and 75{%} showed p-type behavior, which were successfully applied to produce thin-film transistors.
