Abstract:

This work describe the optical and electrical properties of indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films prepared by thermal evaporation method on flexible plastic substrate (polyethylene terephthalate (PET)). The optical transmission and absorption of ITO films in the visible and UV rang have been studied. The resistivity, sheet resistant, carrier concentration and mobility have been evaluated by Hall Effect measurement. The surface morphology and roughness were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The results indicate that the optical transmission greater than 85% over the visible rang and it was found to be strongly dependent on the thickness of ITO films. The Resistivity and sheet resistant with low values (10-4 Ω-cm, 9.22 Ω/ respectively) were obtained and ties values were increased with ITO thin films thickness increasing .AFM investigation showed that the roughness surface of (8 – 30) RMS have been obtained over different thickness of ITO films. The obtained results of the deposited films by this method were analyzed. Details of sample preparation, experimental methods and results are given and discussed.
