SPI Supplies® Brand Indium-Tin-Oxide (ITO) Coated Substrates
Technical Data Sheet
Refractive index values
We present the refractive index data for the ITO coating supplied by SPI Supplies. It is the refractive index value used for calculating our ITO film performances. Remember that the ITO coatings made by SPI Supplies are sputtered and therefore are denser than coatings made by vacuum evaporation.

High Temperature Applications:
We have some test data on our ITO coating subjected to high temperatures for 3 x 12 hours cycles. Changes in resistance was observed and were found to be larger as temperatures got higher.
160 C 3 Cycles 2.5% Sheet Resistance Change
210 C 3 Cycles 4% Sheet Resistance Change
250 C 3 Cycles 16% Sheet Resistance Change
We do not recommend using this product at temperatures higher than 300 C.
