“…The films were nanocrystalline with a crystallite size of about 12–14 nm. This is in accordance with earlier studies indicating that complete densification can only be achieved significantly above temperatures of 800 °C 20, 21. All diffraction peaks can be attributed to the expected bixbyite phase.…”

Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films can be manufactured by spincoating or inkjet printing of a solution containing indium and tin oximato precursor complexes. After sintering at 600 °C and annealing in reducing atmosphere, resistivities as low as 2.34 × 10−3 Ω cm were observed, with a transparency of more than 95% in the visible region. The employment of an amorphous hafnia interlayer on top of a silicon dioxide dielectric was found to improve the wetting behaviour significantly. Thus source–drain structures could be obtained by inkjet‐printing and field‐effect transistors were constructed using poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT) as organic semiconductor.

“…The measurements were performed with grazing angles between 0.1 o and 0.2 o which are below the critical angle of ITO [38]. One of the issues upon investigating by GIWAXS inkjet PEDOT:PSS deposits on ITO appears from the strong diffraction features exhibited by ITO (Fig.…”

Thin films of Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) complexed with Poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) on Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) have been prepared by inkjet printing technology. The process allows obtaining thin films over large areas. A relatively broad range of thicknesses can be obtained by the addition of subsequent polymer layers resembling an additive manufacturing process. The resulting inkjet PEDOT:PSS films are homogeneous as regard both electrical and mechanical properties. In spite of the characteristic parallel line topography of these inkjet print films, both the Quantitative Nanomechanical Mapping (QNM) and the Conductive-Atomic Force Microscope (C-AFM) characterization reveal homogeneous values throughout the polymer surface regardless of the welding zones. The results discussed in this work provide the basis for the application of inkjet printing as deposition method for electrically conducting PEDOT:PSS into a large area with mechanical stability.

“…The low film thickness results from the small amount of ZnO precursor used in the present investigation. Several studies have been published already on the determination of the porosity of a film using small-angle scattering techniques (Yang et al, 2009;Ito & Omote, 2011;Dourdain et al, 2005Dourdain et al, , 2006. The average porosity of the ZnO films in the present contribution is calculated using a procedure described in the literature (Rawolle et al, 2013;Kaune et al, 2009) from the critical angle ( c ) of 0.10 for ZnO.…”

Based on a diblock copolymer‐assisted sol–gel route, zinc oxide (ZnO) films with a foam‐like network morphology are synthesized using zinc acetate dihydrate as a precursor. Poly(styrene‐block‐ethylene oxide) diblock copolymers with two different molecular weights are examined to compare the influence on the resulting morphologies. The variation in the porosity and in the pore size of the ZnO foam as a function of increasing amount of ZnO precursor are probed with grazing‐incidence small‐angle X‐ray scattering (GISAXS). The GISAXS data are complemented with a surface topography investigation based on scanning electron microscopy. It is observed that the block copolymer template with the higher molecular weight yields a smaller average pore size and a lower average porosity of about 21%.
