ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) thin films obtained by R.F cathodic sputtering have been studied. The influence of thermal treatment on the electronic properties of the films has been particularly investigated. Electrical measurements were performed between 95 and 600 K. Free carriers concentration in the film were measured by Hall effect coefficient. Optical indices were determined by computer drawing of charts allowing to simplify Manifacier method.Finally study of SIS tunnel solar cells, based on Si/(RF sputtered) ITO junctions is presented.

Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films were grown on glass substrates by direct current (DC) reactive magnetron sputtering at room temperature. Annealing at the optimal temperature can considerably improve the composition, structure, optical properties, and electrical properties of the ITO film. An ITO sample with a favorable crystalline structure was obtained by annealing in fixed oxygen/argon ratio of 0.03 at 400°C for 30 min. The carrier concentration, mobility, resistivity, band gap, transmission in the visible-light region, and transmission in the near-IR regions of the ITO sample were-1.6E+20 cm−3,2.7E+01 cm2/Vs,1.4E-03 Ohm-cm, 3.2 eV, 89.1%, and 94.7%, respectively. Thus, annealing improved the average transmissions (400–1200 nm) of the ITO film by 16.36%. Moreover, annealing a copper-indium-gallium-diselenide (CIGS) solar cell at 400°C for 30 min in air improved its efficiency by 18.75%. The characteristics of annealing ITO films importantly affect the structural, morphological, electrical, and optical properties of ITO films that are used in solar cells.

Transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) known as indium tin oxide (ITO) and fluorine tin oxide (FTO) deposited on glass were compared by different techniques and also as anodes in organic light-emitting diode (OLED) devices with same structure. ITO produced at laboratory was compared with the commercial one manufactured by different companies: Diamond Coatings, Displaytech and Sigma-Aldrich, and FTO produced at laboratory was compared with the commercial one manufactured by Flexitec Company. FTO thin films produced at laboratory presented the lowest performance measured by Hall effect technique and also by I-V curve of OLED device with low electrical current and high threshold voltage. ITO thin films produced at laboratory presented elevated sheet resistance in comparison with commercial ITOs (approximately one order of magnitude greater), that can be related by a high number of defects as discontinuity of the chemical lattice or low crystalline structure. In the assembly of OLED devices with ITO and FTO produced at laboratory, neither presented luminances. ITO manufactured by Sigma-Aldrich company presented better electrical and optical characteristics, as low electrical resistivity, good wettability, favorable transmittance, perfect physicalchemical stability and lowest threshold voltage (from 3 to 4.5 V) for OLED devices.

The effects of high-temperature annealing on ferromagnetic Co-doped Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) thin films have been investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), magnetometry, and X-Ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism (XMCD). Following annealing, the magnetometry results indicate the formation of Co clusters with a significant increase in the saturation magnetization of the thin films arising from defects introduced during cluster formation. However, sum rule analysis of the element-specific XMCD results shows that the magnetic moment at the Co sites is reduced after annealing. The effects of annealing demonstrate that the ferromagnetism observed in the as-deposited Co-doped ITO films arises from intrinsic defects and cannot be related to the segregation of metallic Co clusters.
