Electrical and optical properties of indium tin oxide films prepared on plastic substrates by radio frequency magnetron sputtering

Influence of nickel thickness on the properties of ITO/Ni/ITO thin films

“…Thus, we concluded that the incremental increase in carrier density, along with excess carriers from the Ni interlayer, resulted in an absorption edge shift towards longer wavelengths. Consistent with this finding, Yang et al [13] reported that ITO films prepared on the PC substrate by RF magnetron sputtering have an optical transmittance of 75%. Together, the optoelectrical properties reported by Lin et al [10] and Yang et al [13] are similar to the properties we observed in our deposited ITO films.…”

Together, the optoelectrical properties reported by Lin et al [10] and Yang et al [13] are similar to the properties we observed in our deposited ITO films. Thus, the properties of the ITO films in this study, which were used for comparison with the INI films, were reasonable.…”

Low temperature deposition of transparent conducting ITO/Au/ITO films by reactive magnetron sputtering

“…Recently, Lin et al [12] reported that the ITO films deposited using RF magnetron sputtering without substrate heating had a resistivity of 4 Â 10 À3 V cm. Similarly Yang et al [13] reported that ITO film prepared on a PC substrate by RF magnetron sputtering exhibited an optical transmittance of 75%. The optoelectrical properties reported by Lin et al and Yang et al were similar with the properties extracted from the asdeposited ITO single layer films.…”

Effect of SiO2and Nb2O5Buffer Layer on Optical Characteristics of ITO Thin Film

“…Transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) are special semiconductors that possess three physical properties: high optical transparency, low reflectivity, and high electrical conductivity [1][2][3][4]. They are used as transparent conducting coatings, and have been widely used in a variety of electronic and optoelectronic device applications [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] such as organic light emitting diodes (OLED), liquid crystal displays (LCD), solar cells [12][13][14][15][16][17], and anti-reflection casting.…”
