Abstract
In the realm of optoelectronics to produce thin film, SWCNT (Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube) is a promising alternative to Indium Tin Oxide (ITO). However, it is still challenging to manufacture SWCNT thin film that is low-cost, homogenous and has minimal sheet resistance. In this work, SWCNT thin films were deposited by using the automated spray coating method. To enhance the film quality and optoelectronic characteristics, post-deposition treatment through nitric acid vapor was carried out. The optimized SWCNT thin films exhibited optical transparency in the range of 60.4% at 800 nm and sheet resistance of 6.6 Ω/square. The sheet resistance of our fabricated SWCNT thin films was lower than the value of ITO films (10 Ω/square), putting forth evidence which suggests the potential of SWCNTs as an alternative to ITO.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Engineering Research (JER) is a international, peer reviewed journal which publishes full length original research papers, reviews, case studies related to all areas of Engineering such as: Civil, Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical, Computer, Chemical, Petroleum, Aerospace, Architectural, Biomedical, Coastal, Environmental, Marine & Ocean, Metallurgical & Materials, software, Surveying, Systems and Manufacturing Engineering. In particular, JER focuses on innovative approaches and methods that contribute to solving the environmental and manufacturing problems, which exist primarily in the Arabian Gulf region and the Middle East countries. Kuwait University used to publish the Journal "Kuwait Journal of Science and Engineering" (ISSN: 1024-8684), which included Science and Engineering articles since 1974. In 2011 the decision was taken to split KJSE into two independent Journals - "Journal of Engineering Research "(JER) and "Kuwait Journal of Science" (KJS).
