Properties of Indium Tin Oxide Transparent Conductive Thin Films at Various Substrate and Annealing Temperature

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.

Ito Thin Films

In this paper, the indium tin oxide (ITO) thin ﬁlms were prepared by a sol-gel spin coating method and then annealed under different temperatures (400, 500 and 550°C) in a mixture atmosphere of 3.75% H2 with 96.25% N2 gases. The microstructure, optical and electrical properties of the prepared films were investigated and discussed. The XRD patterns of the ITO thin films indicated the main peak of the (222) plane and showed a high degree of crystallinity with an increase of the annealing temperature. In addition, due to the pores existing in the prepared films, the optical and electrical properties of the prepared films are degraded through the sol-gel process. Thus, the best transmittance of 70.0 %in the visible wavelength region and the lowest resistivity of about 1.1×10-2 Ω-cm were obtained when the prepared film was annealed at 550°C.
