研究目的
To investigate the adhesive property between Ga-doped ZnO thin films and polycarbonate substrates quantitatively, and to study the effect of sputtering pressures on structural, electrical, optical, and adhesive properties.
研究成果
Flexible GZO films exhibit optimal properties at 0.4 Pa sputtering pressure with high transmittance (~90%), low square resistance (18.6 Ω/sq at 0.3 Pa), and good adhesion (3.2-3.3 N for pressures up to 0.5 Pa, decreasing to 2.7 N at 0.7 Pa). The quantitative assessment of adhesion provides insights for improving mechanical integrity in flexible optoelectronic devices.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific sputtering pressure range (0.2 to 0.7 Pa) and room temperature deposition; only polycarbonate substrates and Ga doping were used, which may not generalize to other conditions or materials. Quantitative adhesion measurement relies on scratch test, which might have sensitivity issues.
