摘要
Flexible ultra-thin indium oxide films (UT-ITOs) of 30-50 nm thick, with crystallized nanoclusters (NCs), exhibiting excellent resistivity as low as similar to 5.6 x 10(-4) Omega cm are deposited at similar to 80 degrees C without heating using a new 3-D confined magnetron source (3DMS). Material characteristics are purposefully investigated in light of NC formation. Also, the measured NC sizes are reasonably comparable to the theoretically estimated values obtained using a two-body collision model that reveals the formation of NCs by add-atoms.
