ITO Coated Glass

Details and Specifications of ITO Coated Glass Slides

ITO coated glass (Indium Tin Oxide Glass) is an excellent solution for providing optimum conductivity in solar cells and other devices. This glass categorized under ‘TCO’, or Transparent Conducting Oxide. At Shilpa Enterprises, we produce the finest quality, and most effective ITO glass coverslip using the best quality glass substrates. Our focus on optimal design and functioning allows our ITO glass slides to have optimally low resistance despite being highly transparent too.

Our ITO glass substrate production process involves carefully coating a very thin and uniform layer of Indium Tin Oxide over a high-end glass substrate. It is an extremely delicate process and performed under tightly controlled vacuum-based conditions. We use the reliable Sputtering Method for coating the glass substrate with ITO, within a constant heat of 300˚ C.

ITO Coating Process

The ITO coating is done on one side of the glass substrate, while the other hand is insulated efficiently. Our ITO glass is inherently stronger, and more durable, thanks to the Silicon Dioxide (Si02) layer sandwiched between the borosilicate glass and the ITO coating.

Indium tin oxide is an optoelectronic substance that researchers utilize extensively in industry. The synthesis has a diverse proportion of tin, oxygen, and indium with a loading of 8% Sn, 18% O2, and 74% In. The amount of oxygen content describes whether the product is ceramic or alloy. ITO is an N-type semiconductor, is electrically conductive, and has optical transparency. It acts as a metal-like mirror in an infrared spectrum.

These properties make it the best fit for electronics and prove easy to deposit as a thin film. An increase in the layer thickness causes a better density of charge carriers and film's conductivity but transparency decreases. ITO applications include Bus bars, conductive strips, and inherently conductive polymers (ICPs). The main advantage of ITO is its environment-friendly processing and manufacturing. We customize the size and specifications of the product as per the requirements of the client.

Technical Properties of ITO Coated Glass

We designs and develops ITO coated glass slides in varying sizes, precisely according to individual customer’s requirements. Apart from the varying size, these are the general properties of our ITO coated glasses that makes it an excellent solution for numerous industries:

• Dimensions – Varies as per individual requirements.
• Surface Resistivity – Available in ~10 ohms/sq, ~20 ohms/sq and ~100 ohms/sq
• ITO Layer thickness – 20nm to 250nm
• Transmittance – constant 85%

One of the best aspects of ITO coated glass plate from Shilpa Enterprises is that we provide extremely flexible design choices for our customers. Using our advanced Laser Patterning technique, we provide innovatively designed conductive glass, such as square-shaped, rectangular-shaped, and even round ITO discs, all per our customer’s needs.
