Application

Spin-coating:
Spin-coating a single layer at 2000-5000 rpm yields a final film thickness of 40-60 nm. To achieve thicker films, multiple layers can be applied without a baking step. This is recommended over using a lower spin speed to maintain film uniformity. This ink should work on almost any substrate.

Electrical performance:
Following a baking step at 300 °C for 30 minutes in air, the spin-coated films exhibit sheet resistance of 300-800 Ω/sq, corresponding to a resistivity of 0.003-0.004 Ω−cm. With 5 coats at 2000 rpm, a 200 nm thick film with a sheet resistance of 160 Ω/sq. is obtained.

General guidelines:
Ethanol is recommended for cleaning up the ink and dried films, as well as dilution. Bath sonication (5-10 minutes) of the ink prior to use is recommended following extended periods of disuse.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. Does it contain surfactant?

    1 answer
    1. This product includes ethyl cellulose as a stabilizing polymer. The ethyl cellulose may be removed after spin coating using photonic or thermal annealing. For thermal annealing, heat to 300°C for 30 minutes in an oxidizing environment (e.g., ambient air, oxygen, etc.).

      Helpful?

  2. Is there a documented recipe available for spin coating 900960, including details on the substrates it works well with (specifically regular glass slides), any pre-processing required to promote adhesion, the quantities needed, and the spin rpm-thickness characteristics?

    1 answer
    1. As per the supplier, for spin-coating on glass, a standard iterative solvent cleaning protocol is recommended, involving 5 minutes of sonic cleaning in acetone, ethanol, and isopropanol, followed by blow-drying with N2 between each step, and then ozone plasma treatment (medium power for 2-5 minutes) to promote adhesion. The ink is also compatible with spin-coating on Si/SiO2 substrates, which can undergo the same pre-treatment protocol. When using the spin coater, spinning a single layer at 2000-5000 rpm results in a final film thickness of 40-60 nm. To achieve thicker films, multiple layers can be applied without a baking step, which is recommended over using a lower spin speed to maintain film uniformity. With 5 coats at 2000 rpm, a 200 nm thick film is obtained after baking at 300 °C for 30 minutes in air.
