Nanocrystalline indium tin oxide (ITO) powder is prepared by gas phase condensation (GPC) and used to produce conductive optical coatings. Materials produced by GPC are commercially available at reasonable cost and bridge the gap between basic science and product development. Nanocrystalline ITO films are transparent (>95percent), conductive, and offer distinct device processing advantages. The oxidation state and surface chemistry of ITO may be tailored for particular applications and offers a flexible, affordable alternative to competitive films. The preparation and characterization of nanocrystalline ITO films and device applications will be discussed.
