Abstract

The transparent flexible plastic antenna was fabricated. Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film was deposited on flexible plastic substrate at room temperature by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering with a new technique, called gas-timing. By using the X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement of the ITO thin film grown by this technique, a cubic nanocrystalline structure with predominant (222) orientation was observed. The technique of gas-timing we used, the ITO thin film on flexible substrate was achieved with high transmittance in visible region of 90% and low resistivity. The performance of the new film antenna was studied experimentally with its return loss and radiation patterns.
