During the manufacturing process of Al-based thin films for electronic applications, a post-deposition annealing is required in order to achieve lower resistivity. However, the electrical transportation behavior of the magnetron sputtered Al film has been rarely investigated so far. To approach this objective, we have explored the microstructures of the films before and after annealing with emphasis...
