Shining metallic luster, creating efficient ITO conductive film production method

Introduction: ITO conductive film plays an important role in modern electronic products, and copper plating on the surfaceITO filmIt is even more favored. This article will introduce how to make ITO conductive film with copper plating on the surface, revealing the secrets behind it.

1、 Choose the appropriate substrate

The selection of substrate for ITO conductive film is crucial, usually using glass or PET substrate. Glass substrates are suitable for applications that require high transparency and high temperature resistance, while PET substrates are suitable for flexible and lightweight applications. Select suitable substrates based on specific needs.

2、 Preparation of ITO thin film

To deposit a layer of ITO thin film on the selected substrate, the common preparation methods include sputtering method and sol-gel method. ITO thin films prepared by sputtering method have high transparency and conductivity, making them suitable for large-scale production; The sol gel rule is suitable for flexible substrates, and the preparation process is simple.

3、 Surface treatment

The common method for surface treatment of the prepared ITO film is through copper plating process. Copper plating can improve the conductivity and stability of conductive films, while increasing the metallic texture and visual effect. Choose the appropriate copper plating process and control the thickness of the copper plating.

4、 Heat treatment and surface coating

The ITO conductive film that has undergone surface treatment also needs to undergo heat treatment to improve its density and stability. At the same time, a protective layer can be coated on the surface to increase the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the film.

5、 Performance testing and application

Finally, performance tests were conducted on the prepared ITO conductive film, including transparency, resistivity, compressive bending resistance, and other indicators. Optimize the membrane based on the test results to achieve the target performance. This ITO conductive film can be widely used in electronic products such as touch screens, tablets, and smartphones.

Conclusion: Through the above steps, we can successfully prepare the surfaceCopper plated ITO conductive filmTo create efficient, highly transparent, and metallic conductive films that meet various application needs. I hope the introduction in this article can provide some references for research and production in related fields.
