Indium-Tin-Oxide (ITO) thin films were deposited on glass substrates using DC magnetron reactive sputtering at different bias voltages and substrate temperatures. Some improvements were obtained on film properties, microstructure and other physical characteristics for different conditions. Amorphous and polycrystalline films can be obtained for various deposition conditions. The transmission, absorption, spectral and diffuse reflection of ITO films were measured in some ranges of UV-Vis-NIR. The refractive index (n), Energy band gap Eg and the surface roughness of the film were derived from the measured spectra data. The carrier density (nc) and the carrier mobility (μ) of the film micro conductive properties were discussed. The films exhibited suitable optical transmittance and conductivity for electrochromic applications. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Topič, M.a, Smole Furlan Fortunato Martins F. a J. a. "Analysis of front contact heterojunction in a-Si:H one-dimensional position sensitive detectors." Review of Scientific Instruments. 68 (1997): 1377-1381. AbstractWebsite

The influence of different transparent conducting oxides (TCO) on the transverse photoelectrical properties of one-dimensional position sensitive detectors based on p-i-n amorphous silicon structures was studied. For both SnO 2 and indium tin oxide, poor quality of the p layer was revealed by secondary ion mass spectroscopy measurements. Good agreement between experimental and simulation characteristics of TCO/p-i-n structure was additionally conditioned by a strong increase in defect states at the p layer surface which can be attributed to the reduction/ oxidation process at the TCO/p interface. However, the analysis showed that under reverse bias the spectral response of the p-i-n structure is not significantly affected by different TCO layers and conditions at the TCO/p heterojunction. Nevertheless, indium tin oxide is less appropriate for a front TCO layer due to the poor reverse dark current-voltage characteristic, i.e., higher leakage current component leading to lower signal to noise ratio. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

Topic, M., Smole Furlan Fortunato Martins F. J. E. "Examination of 1-D position sensitive detector performance through analysis of front contact heterojunction." Materials Research Society Symposium - Proceedings. Vol. 420. 1996. 171-176. Abstract

The influence of different TCOs (SnO2 and ITO) on the photoelectrical properties of 1-D position sensitive detectors based on p-i-n structures was studied. A strong cross-contamination in the p-layer and contamination in the i-layer reduce the quality of the device. Numerical analysis of TCO/p-i-n structure also revealed a strong increase in defect states at the p-layer surface which can be attributed to the reduction of TCO. ITO seems to be less appropriate for a front TCO, although the spectral response of the p-i-n structure under reverse bias is not significantly affected by the conditions at the TCO/p heterojunction.
