NOVEL APPLICATIONS OF CHEMICALLY DEPOSITED CUXS THIN-FILMS

Novel applications, such as electrically conductive and transparent su rfaces on organic polymer sheets, elastic thin-film copper sensor elec trodes that are immune to halide ion interference and contact electrod es on top of ferroelectric PZT films, are suggested for chemically dep osited CuxS thin films. The economicity and simplicity of the electrol ess deposition technique employed for CuxS films is considered suitabl e for large-area and large-scale production of CuxS films on various s ubstrates.
