A more advanced sputter coater where the complete sequence of flush, leak, coat and vent is automatically controlled. The solenoid operated leak valve allows the gas pressure to return automatically to pre-set conditions. The coater can also be operated in the manual mode if required. The sputter current is set by a digital programmer and is independent of the gas pressure. Sputtering currents up to 40mA allow a range of target materials to be efficiently sputtered by the magnetron head. Coating time can be set, stored and displayed by the digital timer.

High quality sputtered fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) films can be used as electrodes for thin film photovoltaic /solar cells (dye-sensitized cells, organic solar cells), LED display, electrochemical deposition, capacitors, Infrared detection, energy-saving windows, RFI/EMI shielding and other electro-optical and insulating applications. Fluorine doped tin oxide is relatively stable under atmospheric conditions, chemically inert, mechanically hard and abrasion tolerant, high-temperature resistant and has lower cost than indium tin oxide (ITO).
FTO is well recognized as an attractive material because it is relatively stable under atmospheric conditions, chemically inert, mechanically hard, high-temperature resistant, and has a high tolerance to physical abrasion.
Customer Testimonials
"I very much appreciate the great customer service and rapid processing time for customized FTO glass slides. The substrates are very uniform and the thickness is perfect for electrochemical depositions and SEM imaging! I highly recommend all electrochemists to buy their substrates from MSE Supplies."
-Dr. Agnes Thorarinsdottir, Postdoctoral Fellow, Harvard University
Carlos Biaou, a PhD student at UC Berkeley worked with MSE Supplies to fabricate several hundred customized ITO and FTO substrates for his thesis research, and he had a very positive feedback on the products and services he received from MSE Supplies.
Dr. Selma Duhovi from MIT has used the ITO and FTO substrates provided by MSE Supplies for smart glass application, and has been very satisfied with the products and services provided by MSE Supplies.

"Synthesis of CuFe2O4 Film on FTO Substrate by Flame and Furnace. All samples were prepared on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) coated-glass substrates (TEC 7, 78"/sq, MSE Supplies).The FTO substrates were cleaned in acetone, IPA, and DI water, with sonication for 15 min, and were dried by an air gun. The CuFe2O4 precursor was prepared by the solgel method and was spin-coated on FTO glass for both annealing methods at 3000 rpm for 60 s."
