Abstract
The initial growth mode of indium tin oxide on glass was studied. An i nteresting transition from a 3D island growth mode at low temperatures to 2D growth at higher temperature was observed. This transition from the Volmer-Weber mechanism to the Frank-van der Merwe mechanism occur s at about 150 degrees C. It coincides with the transition from amorph ous to polycrystalline growth of the thin films. (C) 1996 American Ins titute of Physics.
