Abstract

Many electronic applications are moving towards the flexible and wearable gadgets. In most of these electronic items, a flexible conducting substrate is used for supporting the thin film. A thin films quality is improved by the annealing process in which the grain boundaries fuses together to form a cohesive grain structure. Most of the flexible substrate available today lacks the heat resistance to withstand the annealing process. To address this issue, a neutral-solution soluble heat resistant NaCl substrate is developed by the recrystallization method. In this study, polycrystalline NaCl is recrystallized to a single plane (220) and demonstrated the transfer of ZnO and Mo thin films from polycrystalline NaCl to glass substrates.
