Indium-Zinn-Oxid (ITO) Sputtering Targets Description
Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) is a solid solution of Indium Oxide (In2O3) and Tin Oxide (SnO2), typically comprising 90 % In2O3 and 10 % SnO2 by weight. ITO is employed for its electrical conductivity and optical transparency. Thin films of ITO are deposited on substrates using Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD).
ITO is used to manufacture transparent conductive coatings for displays such as liquid crystal displays, flat screens, plasma displays, touch screens and electronic ink devices. ITO thin films are applied in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), solar cells, antistatic coatings and EMI shielding. In OLEDs, ITO serves as the anode.
Additionally, ITO is utilised in various optical coatings, particularly for infrared-reflective coatings (hot mirrors) employed in the automotive industry and for sodium vapour lamp glass.
ITO thin film strain gauges operate at temperatures up to 1 400 °C and are suitable for use in harsh environments, for example in gas turbines, jet engines and rocket engines.
As a transparent conductor for LCDs, ITO offers the benefit of being etched into fine patterns when compared with other materials (e.g. AZO).
