Effects of Thickness on the Thermal Expansion Coefficient of ITO/PET Film

In this studing, application of the digital image correlation method (DIC) for determining the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of
Indium Tin Oxide/Polyethylene Terephthalate(ITO/PET) thin film/flexible
substrate was proposed and the effects of thinkness variations of ITO and
PET, respectively, on the CTE of the specimens was disscussed. The
observation range of experimental temperature was chosen from room
temperature to the glass transfer temperature of PET, 70¢J. A novel DIC
experimental process for reducing the errors caused from the variations of
the refractive index of the surrounding heated air was proposed.
As a result, the experimental error of CTE measurement was reduced form
10~17% to less than 5%. The experimental results showed that the CTE of
ITO/PET specimen is anisotropic. Futhermore, the CTE of an ITO/PET
specimen will be increased by decreasing the thinkness of PET flexible
substrate, and increased by increasing the thinkness of ITO film - which
means decreasing the surface resistance of ITO film.
