Determination of Thickness of PZO Films Deposited on ITO Glass Substrates

PZO (PbZrO3) coatings with different thicknesses were deposited onto Indium Tin Oxide ITO glass substrates at room temperature by magnetron sputtering technique. UV-Vis absorption spectra method and microhardness testing method were used to measure the thickness of coating. It was proved that the measuring results of film thickness by two kinds of methods were equivalent, and either one method can be alternatively used to determine the thickness of deposited films.

We report the formation of gold nanoparticles on indium tin oxide conducting glass (ITO) surface via electrodeposition method at room temperature. The prepared nano-Au electrodes has been fabricated for sensitive detection of Pb2+, and showed highly selective response toward Pb2+. The electrochemical detection of Pb2+ were determined by differential pulse stripping voltammetric (DPSV). The nano-Au electrochemical sensor could detect Pb2+ from 0.5 to 10 μM with detection limits of 0.06 μM (S/N= 3) and sensitivity of 0.27996 mA μM−1. The proposed sensor is simple, reliable, sensitive, selective, and low-cost, thus holds potential for practical application in Pb2+ detection.

AbstractIn this work, optical functions of some widely used OLEDs materials 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (BCP), tris (8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3), (N,N′-di(naphthalene-1-yl)-N,N′- diphenylbenzidine (NPB),poly(3,4,-ethylene dioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonic acid (PEDOT:PSS) and indium tin oxide (ITO)) were studied using spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) in the spectral range from 1.55 eV to 4.1 eV (wavelength range of 300 nm to 800 nm). The samples were prepared either by thermal evaporation in high vacuum or spin-coating of thin films onto glass substrates. For determination of the optical functions of ITO, commercial ITO glass was used. Measurements at different incident angles were performed to determine whether the samples can be considered isotropic. The SE data were modeled using an oscillator model (Lorentz for semiconducting and Lorentz-Drude for conducting materials). The absorption spectra were also measured, and the comparison with the data determined by SE is given.

AbstractIn this study, an external electric field was used to facilitate the growth of vertically aligned ZnO crystal rods on the surface of indium tin oxide (ITO) glass substrates in an aqueous solution. We used Zn(NO3) and C6H12N4 as precursor and reagent. We found that the external electric field generated by DC potential of 5 kV between two electrodes that were placed outside the bottle could facilitate the growth of homogeneous, high density and vertically aligned ZnO crystal rods. Position of the substrate during the growth of crystal was found to be important to obtain well aligned crystal. The crystals that were grown near the negative electrode had the best properties. Photoluminescence measurement at room temperature revealed sharp peaks at around 360 and 380 nm and a broad peak around 420 nm that indicated good properties of ZnO crystals grown with external electric field.

Display Technology

AbstractIndium tin oxide is the most basic transparent electrode material for all flat panel displays. Commercial ITO glass is manufactured mostly by sputtering. Here, we report the use of pulsed laser deposition to produce ITO thin films on glass at room temperature. Several interesting properties of such films were observed. (1) It was found that the resistivity of 0.5mΩ-cm compared very well with the best published values produced at high deposition temperatures. Room temperature deposition affords the possibility of using plastics and other flexible substrates for displays. (2) The microstructure of these ITO films were quite different from those of commercial ITO glasses. (3) By passing a strong current through the film, a large thermally induced Δnl could be observed. This change was due to lateral stress and could be as large as 1μ m for a 1-μm thick film. An electro-optic shutter can easily be designed with such films. Applications of this electronically controlled Δnl to display technology are discussed.

Average Transmittance

In this work, titanium-doped indium-tin-oxide (ITIO) films were deposited onto the glass substrates at room temperature by in-line RF magnetron sputtering. The deposition rate of the ITIO film increases with the RF power. The average transmittance of the deposited ITIO film is higher than 85% in the wavelength range of 350 - 950 nm. The resistivity of the sputtered ITIO has been reduced down to 7.03 × 10-4 Ω-cm. The poly-Si solar cell with ITIO film as the anti-reflection coating shows an efficiency improvement of 36.5% over that with AZO anti-reflection coating.

Influence Of Substrate

ABSTRACTThin films of indium tin oxide, silica and chromium were deposited on the soda-lime-silica glass substrates with the thickness ranging from 50 to 2000 nano-meter. Their dynamic hardness were measured by the nano-indentation method with the indentation depth from 50 to 200 nano-meter. The hardness of indium tin oxide film increased and that of silica decreased with increasing film thickness. The hardness of chromium was almost constant regardless of film thickness. When the hardness of thin film was higher than that of substrate, the influence of substrate was greater compared with the reverse case. The dynamic hardness of engineering ceramics were about fifty percent higher than the ordinary Vickers hardness, but the ranking order was in good agreement. The Young's modulus from nano-indentation were a little higher than those by resonance method.

Hexaammineruthenium (III) [Ru(NH3)6]3+-Nafion®-isopropanol diluted films were spin coated on indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass substrates. The fabricated samples were used to determine the presence of lead and cadmium in solution using anodic strip-ping voltammetry (ASV). The calibration sensitivity of the electrodes for lead and cadmium were approximately equal. Detection limits of 5ppb and 4ppb were determined for lead and cadmium respectively. Real sampling tests with commercially available yellow water color yielded 0.7106 ppm of Pb with ASV. The result was verified with atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) which yielded 0.6923ppm of Pb.
