“…In these conditions, ITO refractive index around 2.0, direct bandgap energies above 3.7 eV and electrical resistivities below 4 × 10 −4 cm have been reported [5][6][7] that allow small ITO film thicknesses (<200 nm) to achieve low sheet resistances (<20 sq −1 ) as required for large area applications [3]. Recently, the replacement of rigid glass by flexible plastic substrates has gained great interest because it can give advantages such as lighter weight, higher shock resistance and scalable roll-to-roll deposition processes [8][9][10]. For the growth of ITO films onto flexible plastic substrates, however, it is necessary to reduce the process temperature due to the poor thermal endurance of the most commonly used polymer substrates.…”

“…[30][31][32][33][34] It is observed that the former increased and the latter gradually decreased during the annealing process. The observed DRIFT spectra indicate that the Sn-O-Sn component is produced due to the decomposition of the In(OH) 3 precursor during the thermal annealing.…”

“…In most cases, poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) or poly(ethylene naphthalate) (PEN) substrates were used as a support film for the indium-doped tin oxide (ITO), because of their low cost and high transparency. 6,7 Until now, the substrate itself did not have play any role in improving the cell efficiency, since the polymer film employed in these systems plays no direct role in incrementing the light harvest efficiency.…”
