Abstract: | This study investigated indium tin oxide(ITO) films that were deposited on fluororesin-46(F46) and polyimide(PI) transparent flexible substrates by a DC magnetron sputtering system. The optical properties of ITO films on F46 and PI including transmittance and reflectance in visible, near-infrared, and infrared spectral regions were obtained, and the surface morphology, and optical and electrical properties of ITO/F46 and ITO/PI after vacuum ultraviolet irradiation were investigated. The results showed that the mean transmittances of ITO/F46 and ITO/PI decreased and the sheet resistance increased after the irradiation, and these effects were mainly attributed to the greater surface roughness and crystal defects caused by the irradiation. |
