Single pulse laser removal of indium tin oxide film on glass and polyethylene terephthalate by nanosecond and femtosecond laser

Abstract Indium tin oxide (ITO) is the most important transparent conducting electrode to date and the candidate for ultrafast signal processing in telecommunication region. ITO is normally selectively removed in a multiple-steps process for device application. In this work, we aimed to study single pulse removal of ITO-coated glass and PET by using a nanosecond (ns) laser (266 nm) and a femtosecond (fs) laser (1,025 nm) where each process is dominated by either linear or nonlinear process. For ns laser, ITO was removed from PET substrate at 0.01 J/cm2. Detachment likely occurred via thermal-induced process because of the high absorption by both ITO and PET and the thermomechanical properties of PET. At higher laser fluence (∼0.04 J/cm2), the ITO films on both substrates were damaged, and at 1.34 J/cm2, ITO was ablated from the glass substrate. For fs laser removal via nonlinear process, ITO was removed from PET substrate at 0.3 J/cm2, but at 0.8 J/cm2, the PET substrate was also modified. ITO layer was partially removed from glass substrate by fs laser pulse at 0.3 J/cm2 and full removal only occurred at 1.7 J/cm2. Thus, the fluence range for single fs pulse removal of ITO/PET was 0.3–0.8 J/cm2 and >1.7 J/cm2 for ITO/glass.

Bi 0.95 La 0.05 FeO 3( BLFO x=0.05) film was fabricated on indium tin oxide/glass substrate using a metal organic decomposition method. No secondary phase can be observed in the well crystallized and predominantly (110)-oriented BLFO x=0.05 film. Well-saturated P - E hysteresis loops with the remanent polarization of 60.7 μC/cm2 can be obtained in BLFO x=0.05 film due to the low leakage currents as well as the preferred orientation of the (110) peak. The content of oxygen vacancies in the film is considered to be the dominant factor affecting the asymmetry ferroelectric properties and leakage currents.

In this work, we implemented liquid exfoliation to inkjet-print two-dimensional (2D) black phosphorous (BP) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) p–n heterojunctions on a standard indium tin oxide (ITO) glass substrate in a vertical architecture. We also compared the optical and electrical properties of the inkjet-printed BP layer with that of the MoS2 and the electrical properties of the mechanically exfoliated MoS2 with that of the inkjet-printed MoS2. We found significant differences in the optical characteristics of the inkjet-printed BP and MoS2 layers attributed to the differences in their underlying crystal structure. The newly demonstrated liquid exfoliated and inkjet-printed BP–MoS2 2D p–n junction was also compared with previous reports where mechanically exfoliated BP–MoS2 2D p–n junction were used. The electronic transport properties of mechanically exfoliated MoS2 membranes are typically better compared to inkjet-printed structures but inkjet printing offers a cost-effective and quicker way to fabricate heterostructures easily. In the future, the performance of inkjet-printed structures can be further improved by employing suitable contact materials, amongst other factors such as modifying the solvent chemistries. The architecture reported in this work has potential applications towards building solar cells with solution processed 2D materials in the future.

In the current study, a reclamation module uses micro electroetching as a precision fabrication with a new design of T-form tool to remove the defective Indium-tin-oxide (TCO) nanostructure from the optical PET surfaces of digital paper display is presented in current studies. The adopted precision reclamation process requires only a short period of time to remove the TCO nanostructure easily and cleanly is based on technical and economical considerations and is highly efficient. A large rotational diameter of the cathode accompanied by a small gap width between the cathode and the workpiece corresponds to a higher removal rate for the TCO nanostructure. A small thickness of the electrodes, or a small edge radius of the electrodes takes less time for the same amount of TCO removal. A higher feed rate of the optical PET diaphragm combines with enough electric power to drive fast etching rate. High rotational speed of the T-form tool can improve the effect of dregs discharge and is advantageous to associate with the fast feed rate of the workpiece (optical PET diaphragm).

Abstract In2S3 thin films were grown on indium tin oxide (ITO) glass substrate by chemical spray pyrolysis technique at 360°C. The structural analysis of the deposited films shows a combination of tetragonal and cubic structures. The average crystallite size is about 25 nm. The electrical properties of In2S3 thin films have been investigated in a wide frequency (40Hz-100MHz) and temperature (400 K-660 K) ranges.We find that the electrical conductance of the In2S3 thin films is frequency and temperature dependent. The dc conductance shows a semi-conductor behavior for In2S3 films over the explored range of temperature and it follows the Arrhenius law with different activation energies. The variation of ac conductance and the frequency exponent `s’ are explained by the correlated barrier hopping (CBH) model. The Nyquist plots of impedance exhibit semicircle arcs and an electrical equivalent circuit has been suggested to interpret the impedance results.

This study describe the effect of temperature on the opticalproperties of nickel(ii) phthalocyanine tetrasulfonic acid tetrasodiumsalt (NiPcTs) organic thin films which are prepared by spin coatingon indium tin oxide (ITO-glass). The optical absorption spectra ofthese thin films are measured. Present studies reveal that the opticalband gap energies of NiPcTs thin films are dependent on theannealing temperatures. The optical band gap decreases with increasein annealing temperature, then increased when the temperature risingto 473K. To enhance the results of Uv-Vis measurements and getmore accurate values of optical energy gaps; the Photoluminescencespectra of as-deposited and annealed NiPcTs thin films was studied.FTIR measurements for NiPcTs thin films also carried out in thiswork and gave good information about the NiPcTs bonds and itslocations as a compared with H2Pc as a reference.
