Laser fluence and the structure formation on the colorized ITO films.
Abstract
This chapter reviews the nanostructuring fabrications and properties of indium-tin-oxide (ITO) thin films by femtosecond laser annealing. Fundamental mechanisms of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) and other nanostructures on ITO films are presented and discussed in detail. ITO films with large-area surface ripple structures with a multiperiodic spacing of ~800, ~400, and ~200 nm were successfully fabricated by femtosecond laser pulses, without scanning. The ITO films exhibited significant enhancement in electrical conductivity by ~30 times because of the formation and distribution of indium metal-like clusters. This metallic content of the laser-induced nanodots and nanolines further causes the anisotropic transmission characteristics in the visible range. In addition, by varying the laser fluences, nanostructures with cotton, brick, and ripple forms are generated on the surface of ITO films, which produce cyan, yellow, and orange colors. Intriguingly, the ITO films with laser-induced nanostructures can significantly attenuate blue light, thus they are potential for applications such as eye protection and information security.

1. Introduction
Transparent conducting oxide (TCO) film is one of the essential components in various state-of-the-art optoelectronic devices, including liquid crystal displays (LCDs), organic solar cells, touch screens, and organic light emitting devices (OLEDs). Among TCOs, indium-tin-oxide (ITO) is a well-known wide bandgap semiconductor that has metal-like electrical properties and high optical transmission in the visible region [1, 2]. Indeed, ITO possesses high electrical conductivity (∼10−4 Ω-cm) and high transmission (∼90%) in the visible range [3, 4]. In OLED applications, surface properties of ITO films, such as their electron affinity and work function, play a key role in determining the characteristics of OLEDs, owing to their direct contact with the organic materials, as a hole injection layer [5]. ITO has also been extensively used as a good ohmic contact material owing to the excellent surface conductivity in GaN-base light emitting diodes (LEDs) [6].
Recently, material processing by femtosecond (fs) laser irradiation has attracted a great deal of attention because the energy of fs pulses can be precisely and rapidly transferred to the film without thermal effects. This is so-called femtosecond laser annealing (FLA). FLA demonstrates as a good method to induce crystallization within a thin layer of materials and avoid thermal melting in materials. Thus, FLA can be employed in flexible technology, where thin films are coated on polymer substrates with low glass transition temperature (
This chapter reviews recent advances on fabrication of various nanostructures on the surface of ITO films by using femtosecond laser processing. In addition, it reports detailed property modification of fs-laser treated ITO films, including enhanced electrical conductivity, anisotropic optical transmission, laser-colorized effect, and performance of the organic photovoltaic devices using ITO with LIPSSs. This chapter also gives an insight into the formation mechanisms for LIPSSs, the relationship between fs-laser processing and properties of fs laser-treated ITO films, and potential applications of nanostructuring ITO films.
2. Fabrication and characterizations of nanostructuring indium-tin-oxide films
2.1 ITO thin film preparation
ITO thin films were deposited on a glass (a size of 1 × 1 cm) using magnetron sputtering deposition at room temperature, O2/(Ar + O2) flow ratio of 0.047, and a power of 1000 W. The ITO target (58 × 15 cm) was composed of In2O3 with 10 wt% SnO2. The as-deposited ITO thin films have a thickness of 30–80 nm and a resistivity of ∼4 × 10−2 Ω-cm.
2.2 Experimental setups
For fabricating nanostructures, the ITO films were irradiated using a regenerative-amplified Ti:sapphire laser (Legend USP, Coherent), with a central wavelength of 800 nm, a pulse duration of 100 fs, a pulse energy of ∼0.5 mJ, and a repetition rate of 5 kHz (Figure 1a). The diameter of the laser beam was adjusted to ∼14 mm, which can cover fully the sample size of 1 × 1 cm. The samples were irradiated with different fs laser shots (
For studying the anisotropic optical transmission of nanostructured ITO films, all optical spectra were measured through an iris with a 0.1-mm-diameter hole located at a position close to the central region of the laser-induced nanostructures (or laser spot). The fs laser-treated ITO films had ripple structures of nanodots and nanolines on the film surfaces. The transmission spectra of the films were measured using polarized light with a direction of polarization (P) parallel or perpendicular to the direction of the long axis of the nanodots or nanolines (L) on the ITO films (see Figure 1b and the inset of Figure 6c).
For fabricating the various surface modifications in Section 5, the ITO films with a thickness of 80 nm were mounted on an xyz stage and irradiated at room temperature and ambient pressure using a commercial Ti:sapphire amplifier (Solstice Ace, Spectra-Physics) with a central wavelength of 800 nm, a pulse duration of 35 fs, and a repetition rate of 2 kHz. The laser beam with line spot (a length of 4.6 mm and a width of 21 μm) was focused by a cylindrical lens (
2.3 Characterizations
The optical transmission of as-deposited and fs laser-treated ITO films was measured using an UV-visible-near-IR spectrophotometer (Shimadzu SolidSpec-3700). The morphology of the films was examined using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) (HITACHI-S2500 JSM-6500F). The film thicknesses were determined by surface contour measurement (KOSAKA ET4000A), with a vertical resolution of 0.1 nm. The resistivity, carrier concentration, and the Hall mobility of the ITO films were measured by the Hall measurements (Bio-Rad Microscience HL5500) using the Van der Pauw method. The surface composition and chemical bonding were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS, PHI Quantera AES 650), with source of Al Kα at 1486.7 eV, passing an energy of 15 keV, and analyzed a spot size of 100 μm. The XPS spectra were calibrated by using Au at binding energy of 84.0 eV. XPS curve fitting was performed using free-ware XPSPEAK4.1 from Dr. R.M. Kwok, the Shirley background subtraction, and assuming a Gaussian-Lorentzian peak shape. Auger electron spectroscopy (AES, ULVAC-PHI 700) with a spatial resolution of ∼30 nm under 5 keV operating voltage was used to study the local compositions of the as-deposited and fs laser-irradiated ITO films.
In Section 5, the morphology of the colorized ITO films was measured using high resolution field emission SEM (JEOL). To determine the relationship between the reflectance/transmittance spectra and the colors of fs laser-colorized ITO films, we used a spectrometer (U3310, Hitachi) with both deuterium and tungsten iodide lamps (allowing for a scanning range from 190 to 900 nm with a resolution of 0.3 nm).
3. Superior local conductivity in self-organized nanodots on indium-tin-oxide films induced by femtosecond laser pulses
Figure 2a–f shows the surface morphology of ITO films after normal-incidence irradiation with different pulse numbers from 0 to 5 × 103 (fluence: 0.1 mJ/cm2). The film only exhibits few small dots for
The present periodic ripple structures have spacing of approximately 798 ± 15, 420 ± 14, and 230 ± 15 nm. The formation of the two large ripple spacing cases (i.e., 798 ± 15 and 420 ± 14 nm) can be easily explained by classical scattering model [20]:
where Λ is the ripple spacing,
Figure 3 shows the effects of number of pulses (
The optical transmittance of the as-deposited ITO and fs-laser treated ITO films for 3 × 105 and 3 × 106 shots is shown in Figure 3b. Obviously, the optical transmittance of fs laser-treated ITO films remains about the same as that of the as-deposited ITO film, and they achieve a high transmittance of approximately 85% in the visible to near-infrared (NIR) range. The electrical and optical results indicate that fs laser annealing represents a new method to enhance the electrical properties of ITO films and retain their high optical transmittance.
To identify the cause of surface conductivity enhancement for fs laser-treated ITO films, we performed the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) experiments on the as-deposited and fs laser-treated ITO films in comparison with In2O3 powder. Figure 4a shows Donley’s model of surface composition of an ITO film, which has In2O3-like sites, oxygen-deficient sites, and hydroxide and oxyhydroxide groups [21]. Figure 4d–g shows the O1s XPS spectra of fs laser-treated ITO films with
Furthermore, the XPS spectra of In 3d5/2, for In metals, In2O3 powders, and fs laser-treated ITO films, are shown in Figure 5a. The In 3d5/2 peak of In metal locates at a lower binding energy of 443.7 eV, corresponding to the In bonding state of In-In bonds [23]. However, the In 3d5/2 peak of the In2O3 powder shifts to the higher binding energy of 444.6 eV, corresponding to the In3+ bonding state of In2O3 [22, 24]. Thus, the valence states of In2O3 for the as-deposited ITO film can be demonstrated by the In 3d5/2 peak at 444.4 eV. As increasing the number of fs laser pulses, there is a gradual shift in the In 3d5/2 peak from the In-O bonding state to In-In bonding state. Particularly, the peak of In 3d5/2 for
Figure 5b summarizes the findings that periodic self-organized nanodots are formed on the surfaces of the ITO films treated by fs laser pulses because of constructive interference of fs laser. The nanodots are In-like clusters, which induce superior local surface conductivity, and consequently offer reducing the electrical resistivity for the films. The approach for finding the self-organized nanodots with superior local surface conductivity may be suitable for applications such as nanolithography, nanophotoelectrons, and nanomechanics, in large-area nanotechnology.
In brief, periodic ripple structures with a multiperiodic spacing of ∼800, ∼400, and ∼200 nm were successfully fabricated by fs laser pulse irradiation. The ripple structure is composed of self-organized nanodots with a size of 20–500 nm, which are presumably formed by the solidification of melted dot patterns, under conditions of constructive interference and minimized surface energy. The ITO films with ripple structures on the surfaces exhibited significant enhancement in electrical conductivity, which is attributed to the formation of In metal-like nanodots/clusters.
4. Anisotropic optical transmission of femtosecond laser-induced periodic surface nanostructures on indium-tin-oxide films
This section focuses on the anisotropic optical properties of the nanostructures, including nanodots and nanolines, on ITO films fabricated by fs laser irradiation [12]. Figure 6a and b shows the surface morphology of nanodots and nanolines on ITO films. The solid line in Figure 6c presents the optical transmission of an as-deposited ITO film in the visible range of nonpolarized light. The transmission spectra of the fs laser-treated ITO films were measured using polarized light with L//P or L
A schematic illustration for the dichroic optical property of the nanoline film is shown in the inset of Figure 6c. The vertically polarized light (PV), which is parallel to the long axis of the nanoline structure (L), was significantly blocked by the nanostructured ITO films. Meanwhile, the horizontally polarized light (PH) can pass through the nanoline structure, which is perpendicular to the long axis of the nanoline structure (L). These results demonstrate that anisotropic optical transmission can be simply induced and manipulated by using ITO films treated under fs laser irradiation. This property may have potential in applications such as optical devices for polarization control in the visible range [26]. We note that the anisotropic reflection property of the nanostructured ITO films was not evident because the films had a relatively low reflectance compared to the transmittance.
For the case of L//P in Figure 6e, the metallic and periodic nanoline structure on the ITO films reflects or absorbs the incoming electromagnetic (EM) wave due to the movement of electron along the metallic nanolines and Joule heating loss, consequently leading to blocking of the EM wave. However, the movement of electrons along the metallic nanolines is not in the same manner for the case of EM wave with L
To get an insight into the responsible mechanism for the anisotropic optical properties, the compositions of fs laser-treated ITO films were investigated using AES. Figure 7a shows the first derivative (
In summary, the fs laser-treated ITO films with the structures of nanodot and nanoline on the surfaces possessed anisotropic optical transmission properties (i.e.,
5. Femtosecond laser-colorized indium-tin-oxide films for blue light attenuation and image screening
This section further demonstrates the development of various nanostructuring patterns on ITO films by fs laser annealing. Figure 8 presents the surface morphology of an untreated ITO film and five laser-annealed ITO films. Table 1 summarizes the experimental conditions and the nanostructures on the film surfaces. Differ from the flat surface of as-deposited ITO film in Figure 8a, the UDL-1 presents a densely cotton-like structure on the surface when the fluence of 646.1 mJ/cm2 is employed (Figure 8b). By decreasing the laser fluence to 216.7 mJ/cm2, the film has a brick-like structure. At a low fluence of 59.6 mJ/cm2, a regular ripple structure (composed of nano-bricks) is obtained on the surface (Figure 8f). Figure 8c–f shows all of the ripple structures (formed by nano-bricks), which were fabricated by scanning a laser spot along the y-axis and parallel to the polarization of laser beam. The spatial period along the y-axis is much smaller than the wavelength of the radiation, which is the so-called high spatial frequency LIPSS (HSFL). Usually, in transparent materials, HSFLs are generated under hundreds to thousands of ultra-short laser pulses [28] perpendicular to the direction of laser polarization with a fluence below the damage threshold of materials [29]. With a scanning speed of ~12.5 pulses/μm and a spot size of 21 μm in width, the ITO films were irradiated by about 260 pulses at a single point. All laser-annealed ITO films obtained surface nanostructures with HSFLs.
Sample no. | Fluence (mJ/cm2) | Nanostructure | Color | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Cotton-like structure | Brick-like structure | |||
UDL-1 | 646.1 | V | — | Cyan |
UDL-2 | 216.7 | V | V | Yellow |
UDL-3 | 197.0 | V | V | Yellow |
UDL-4 | 67.7 | V | V | Orange |
UDL-5 | 59.6 | — | V | Orange |
For sample UDL-5 in Figure 8f, the nano-bricks exhibited a length of ~250 nm (along the x-axis) and a width of ~70 nm (along the y-axis), and they are regularly separated by around 500 nm along the x-axis. This 500-nm-period structure, so-called low spatial frequency LIPSS (LSFL), is parallel to the polarization of laser beam. Usually, LSFL is observed on the surface of dielectric materials. The spatial period can be estimated by
Figure 9a shows the laser fluence dependence of the colors of laser-annealed ITO films. The untreated ITO film exhibits purple color, while laser-annealed ITO films become cyan, yellow, or orange, depending on the nanostructures on their surfaces. The reflectance and transmittance spectra of all ITO films in the visible region were measured to clarify the origin of laser-colorized ITO films. For an untreated ITO film, the reflectance is relatively high for wavelength ranges below 425 nm and above 650 nm (Figure 9b). Thus, the untreated ITO film is purple. Intriguingly, the reflectance spectra for the laser-annealed ITO films are significantly different. For high fluence (UDL-1), the reflectance spectrum in a range of 450–600 nm is substantially higher than that of the untreated ITO film, with a 2.2-fold increase at around 550 nm; meanwhile, the reflectance spectra below 400 nm and above 650 nm reduce remarkably. Therefore, the laser-colorized ITO film of UDL-1 is cyan. When the laser fluence reduces, the broad main peak in Figure 9c gradually shifts from 550 to 575 nm, and thus, the color changes from cyan to yellow and then to orange.
As shown in Figure 9d, all of the transmittance spectra for ITO films are reduced after fs laser annealing. Interestingly, the transmittance reduction in the region of 390–480 nm is significantly greater than that in long-wavelength region. It is worthy of mentioning that blue light is dominated in the region of 390–480 nm, and it has been demonstrated to cause damage to eyes [34]. Among the treated samples, UDL-5 sample treated under low fluence offers a larger reduction in the blue-light region and a smaller suppression in the red-light region. This study has demonstrated that the fs laser-colorized ITO films can be directly used for LCD displays in which the films maintain their original function as an electrode and act as a blue light filter to protect eyes.
When laser-colorized ITO films are used in the LCD displays, the image displayed on the LCD can be selectively screened by varying the view angle. Figure 10a shows the schematics for testing this concept. If the view angle
6. Conclusions
In this chapter, we review the fabrications of various periodic nanostructures, that is, ripple structures of self-organized nanodots, nanolines, nano-cottons, and nano-bricks on the surfaces of ITO thin films after fs laser pulse irradiation. The ITO films with surface ripple structures were successfully prepared at a fluence of 0.1 mJ/cm2 and numbers of pulses from 5 × 103 to 3 × 106, without scanning. The fs laser-annealed ITO films exhibited a great enhancement in electrical conductivity (~30 times) due to the presence of indium-like clusters in ripple structures. In addition, the ITO films obtained nanodot structure at a fluence of 0.1 mJ/cm2 and a pulse number of 3 × 106 and nanoline structure at a fluence of 0.2 mJ/cm2 and a pulse number of 2 × 107. The fs laser-annealed ITO films presented interesting anisotropic transmission properties (
