On the initial growth of indium tin oxide on glass
نویسندگان
چکیده
The initial growth mode of indium tin oxide on glass was studied. An interesting transition from a 3D island growth mode at low temperatures to 2D growth at higher temperature was observed. This transition from the Volmer-Weber mechanism to the Frank–van der Merwe mechanism occurs at about 150°C. It coincides with the transition from amorphous to polycrystalline growth of the thin films. © 1996 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~96!01719-6#

Carbon nanotubes grown on In2O3:Sn glass as large area electrodes for organic photovoltaics
The authors report the growth of multiwall carbon nanotubes directly onto indium tin oxide glass via chemical vapor deposition as large area semitransparent electrodes for organic solar cell applications. The rate of nanotube growth on this ternary oxide is greatly reduced as compared to that of silicon dioxide and glass substrates enabling a high degree of control over nanotube height. The str...

Structural, electrical and optical properties of indium tin oxide or ITO (In2O3:SnO2) thin films on different substrates are investigated. A 100-nm-thick pre-deposited zinc oxide (ZnO) buffer layer is utilized to simultaneously improve the electrical and optical properties of ITO films. High purity ZnO and ITO layers are deposited with a radio frequency sputtering in argon ambient with plasma p...

We present a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microlens array on a glass substrate. By adjusting the temperature with indium tin oxide (ITO) microheaters, the properties of the individual microlenses are actively tuned without mechanical movement. We characterize the temperature-dependent changes of the microlenses by focal length and magnification measurements. Experimental results demonstrate that...
