Abstract

Layers of ITO nanoparticles were deposited on soda-lime substrates by spincoating in order to pro-duce conductive transparent electrodes. Different lasers in the UV and mid infrared wavelength re-gion were used for post deposition treatment of the layers to remove stabilizing agents contained in the layers to enhance particle-particle contact and significantly increase conductivities. Irradiation with lasers in the infrared region showed good results in terms of stabilizer removal without unde-sired oxidizing effects to the particle layer. Conductivities of up to 120 S/cm were achieved which is comparable to layer treatment by annealing and a subsequent chemical reducing step.
