Abstract

ABSTRACTThe effects of sintering temperature, heating rate, holding time and sintering additive on the properties of single-phase indium tin oxide (ITO) target, prepared by normal pressure sintering method, were studied systematically. The results showed that target sintered at 1550°C for 10 h with a heating rate of 9°C/min had a higher relative density of 98.7% and a lower resistivity of 4×10–4 Ω.cm. When bismuth trioxide (Bi2O3) was added as a sintering additive, the density of target prepared at 1450°C improved significantly from 87.15% to 93.17%, while the resistivity increased to 73.65×10–4 Ω.cm due to poor electrical conductivity of Bi2O3. Moreover, after adding titanium dioxide (TiO2) as sintering additive, density of the target sintered at 1450°C improved from 87.15% to 91.43%. Importantly, the resistivity reached the minimum value of 3.05×10–4 Ω.cm at 1550°C.
