Indium Zinc Oxide Sputtering Targets and Applications



Indium zinc oxide is a chemical compound which consist of indium and zinc metals and oxygen.Indium Zinc Oxide, IZO (InZnO) Sputtering Targets (Size:1'' ,Thickness:0.125'' , Purity: 99.99%) can be used in various applications by obtaining a film. Let's see the applications of indium zinc oxide.
Transparent conducting oxide thin films such as indium tin oxide (ITO), zinc oxide (ZnO), and tin oxide (SnO2) are extensively used as transparent electrodes for touch panels displays, thin films solar cells and flat panel displays. Especially, indium tin oxide thin films have been generally used but these thin films should be heat-treated over 300 oC to have the high transmittance and low resistivity. In addition, high temperature annealing of indium tin oxide films limits the devices to be fabricated on plastic substrate. Recently, it has been reported that new transparent conducting oxide thin film such as indium zinc oxide (IZO) can have high transmittance and low resistivity without heat treatment at high temperature. Because of these properties, the indium zinc oxide thin film is a prospective electrode which can be applied to flexible display devices and solar cells as well as the conventional devices needing transparent conducting oxide films. 
Indium zinc oxide sputtering targets can also be deposited on polyethersulfone (PES) and glass substrates for OLED applications. After deposition of indium zinc oxide sputtering targets for OLED applications, OLEDs show superior current density and luminance characteristics.

Carbon Nanotube Threads

Since its discovery, carbon nanotube (CNT) has attracted many interests in different technology fields due to its extraordinary properties. Properties such as, high strength, great electrical and thermal conductivity, light weight and flexibility made CNT one of the best materials for wide range of applications. However, from its name it can be understood that CNT is a nanoscale material which is very small to be applied for the production of daily products. Researchers all around the world are working on finding methods and techniques which could produce new materials with the extraordinary properties of CNT. Image retrieved from:  https://worldindustrialreporter.com/strong-light-flexible-carbon-nanotubes-threads-with-ultrahigh-conductivity/ One of these research is focusing on the production of high strength threads that can be used in the manufacturing of fabrics, cables and ropes. An international group of scientists were able to produce a flexible conductive thread th...

Multi Walled Carbon Nanotube Dispersions

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)  have attracted enormous attention in recent years due to its unique physical, electronic, optical and potential applications in materials science and nanotechnology. The van der Waals interaction between tubes, however, makes CNTs aggregate in most organic solvents and aqueous solutions, which is the major limitation of their practical applications.Various approaches have been studied to alter the CNT surface to promote the dispersion of individual nanotubes and prevent their reaggregation. On the basis of this widely accepted viewpoint, numerous techniques such as covalent bonding, surfactant coating and polymer wrapping have been developed for surface modification or sidewall functionalization.These methods, however, are complicated, time-consuming and cause permanent damage to the CNT structure and properties of the surface, which produces residues of the dispersion agent for the final product.
