Abstract
The resistivity of sol-gel-derived indium tin oxide (ITO) films effectively decreased with crystallization by exposure to a low fluence UV beam (10-20 mJ/cm2) from an ArF laser. The increase in temperature at the surface of the films was below 10°C under the irradiation condition. Thus, conductive and transparent ITO coatings were successfully obtained on polyethylene terephthalate and polyimide sheets using a sol-gel route assisted with an ultraviolet laser beam.
