AZO Coated Glass Specifications and Details
The Aluminium doped Zinc oxide (AZO) coated glass is a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) over a soda-lime glass substrate. It has manufactured by using target sputtering method. It is a transparent conductive glass substrate with transmittance greater than 81%. The AZO coated glass is a single side coated slides, whereas the other side is insulated. It is not easy to identify the conductive side with bare eyes. It is suggested to a used multimeter or four-probe method to confirm the coated side.
AZO coating serves as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional conductive coatings such as ITO, making it ideal for large-scale and research-based applications. The material exhibits low sheet resistance, high visible light transmittance, and good thermal stability, allowing it to perform efficiently even under elevated temperatures.
Manufactured using precision sputtering techniques, AZO coated glass ensures uniform coating thickness and consistent electrical properties across the surface. Its single-side conductive layer makes it suitable for applications where controlled conductivity and insulation are required.

Dimensions & other details
The AZO coating or layer thickness is 800 - 850nm, and the resistivity is around 10 ohms/sq.cm. The surface of the substrate is quite smooth, but the surface roughness (RMS) is 2nm. The maximum size produced is 304.8mm x 304.8mm in a 3.2mm plate thickness. Our standard sizes are 25mm x 25mm, 50mm x 25mm, 50mm x 50mm, 75mm x 25mm, and 100mm x 100mm. The uniformity of resistance and Haze is less than 10%. It is beneficial for heating applications since its maximum operating temperature is 600 °C.
The AZO coated glass is less popular as compared to ITO and FTO glass, but it is the best economical option for many applications. It is mainly utilized in the LCD's, RF-EMI shielding, solar cell fabrication, optoelectronic devices, photovoltaics, etc.
