“…Subsequently, the final ITO thin film was printed on top of the alumina ink and cured for 5 min at 105 • C. The analysis demonstrated that the alumina dielectric ink was effective in preventing short circuits between the two ITO layers. Siddiqui, Saxena and Singh 86 performed screen printing to deposit silver bus bars on the edges of glass substrate and followed by the deposition of ITO through sputtering on remaining areas.…”

This review aims to present a critical overview of indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film preparation methods, structure–property relationship, and its humidity sensing. A range of passive and active humidity sensors with thin films (based on metal oxides) detects humidity. ITO thin film has advantageous properties, such as low resistivity and high stability, making it highly suitable for humidity sensing applications. ITO thin film has shown the efficient level of humidity sensing, and a compatible size of humidity sensor can monitor the interface conditions humidity. So far, the application of ITO thin film for humidity measurement has yet to be explored at commercial scale, specifically in the detection of lower environmental humidity range (below 5% relative humidity (RH)). The research reveals a gap in improving the ITO thin film properties with an optimal range of preparation conditions. The research opportunities in the preparation, properties, characteristics, and efficient humidity sensitivity of ITO thin film are reviewed in this work.

“…However, transparent conductive oxide (TCO) exhibits nonmetallic insulator and metallic conductor characteristics, including high transmittance and low electrical resistance [1,2]. These properties make TCO suitable for various industries, including liquid crystal displays, solar cells, and thin-film transistors [3][4][5][6]. These industries require high reflectivity in the infrared region, high transmittance in the visible spectral range, strong absorption in the UV region, and high electrical conductivity.…”

This study investigates the intricate process of surface polishing for ITO-coated Pyrex glass utilizing magnetic abrasive polishing (MAP) while employing acoustic emission (AE) sensors for real-time defect monitoring. MAP, known for its versatility in achieving nanoscale thickness processing and uniform surfaces, has been widely used in various materials. However, the complexity of the process, influenced by multiple variables like cutting conditions, material properties, and environmental factors, poses challenges to maintaining high surface quality. To address this, a sensor monitoring system, specifically one that uses AE sensors, was integrated into the MAP process to detect and confirm defects, providing real-time insights into machining conditions and outcomes. AE sensors excel in identifying material deterioration, microcrack formation, and wear, even in cases of minor damage. Leveraging AE sensor data, this study aims to minimize surface defects in ITO thin films during MAP while optimizing surface roughness. The investigation involves theoretical validation, magnetic density simulations, and force sensor pressure measurements to identify factors influencing surface roughness. ANOVA analysis is employed to determine optimal processing conditions. Additionally, this study compares the identified optimal roughness conditions with those predicted by AE sensor parameters, aiming to establish a correlation between predicted and achieved surface quality. The integration of AE sensor monitoring within the MAP process offers a promising avenue for enhancing surface quality by effectively identifying and addressing defects in real time. This comprehensive analysis contributes to advancing the understanding of surface polishing methodologies for ITO-coated Pyrex glass, paving the way for improved precision and quality in thin-film surface processes.

Amorphous aluminum-doped indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films with a reduced indium oxide content of 50 mass% were manufactured by co-sputtering of ITO and Al2O3 targets in a mixed argon–oxygen atmosphere onto glass substrates preheated at 523 K. The oxygen gas flow rate and heat treatment temperature effects on the electrical, optical and structural properties of the films were studied. Thin films were characterized by means of a four-point probe, ultraviolet–visible-infrared (UV–Vis-IR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Transmittance of films and crystallization temperature increased as a result of doping of the ITO thin films by aluminum. The increase in oxygen flow rate led to an increase in transmittance and hindering of the crystallization of the aluminum-doped indium saving ITO thin films. It has been found that the film sputtered under optimal conditions showed a volume resistivity of 713 µΩcm, mobility of 30.8 cm2/V·s, carrier concentration of 2.9 × 1020 cm−3 and transmittance of over 90% in the visible range.
