Wide band gap ITOF, with a refractive index of ~1.5 in the visible and good durability, was produced at a rate of~1.2 nms(-1).Abstract:
Indium–tin–oxyfluoride (ITOF) films were prepared by dc magnetron sputtering of indium–tin in Ar + O2 + CF4. Spectrophotometric measurements in the 0.2–2.5-μm wavelength range were used to evaluate the dielectric function. Wide band gap ITOF, with a refractive index of ~1.5 in the visible and good durability, was produced at a rate of ~1.2 nms−1. ITOF is well suited for antireflecting transparent and conducting indium–tin–oxide coatings.read more
