Enhancement of Surface Properties Using New Annealing Technique for ITO Thin Films

Influence of new technique of ‘oil thermal annealing (OTA)’ on the nanostructured ITO coated films which improve adhesion strength, electrical conductivity and optical properties (transmittance) is revealed. The X-ray diffraction measurement (XRD) used to investigate the properties of nano structure...
