Abstract

This paper presents the electrospray deposition of solution-based ZnO nanoparticles. Transparent thin film transistors in active matrix displays have become the most interested research area. Electrospray assures direct deposition by eliminating etching steps required after deposition by other techniques. Uniform layers of minimum thickness 87 nm on glass and 356 nm on polyimide using electrospray experiment is achieved. Contact angle analyzer has been used for finding properties like wetting energy, spreading coefficient and work of adhesion of the ink on glass and polyimide substrates. All experiments were performed in ambient conditions.
