Title: High-transmittance surface textures formed by plasma etching of metallophthalocyanine films

Journal Article · · Journal of Applied Physics
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1371950· OSTI ID:40204168

The effect of rf-induced plasma etching on thermally evaporated metallophthalocyanine films is investigated. Etching by a gas mixture of nitrogen and CF{sub 4} results in a transparent microstructuring residue with a grain size in the 100 nm range. The residue-covered surface increases visible transmittance up to 3%{endash}4% over the glass substrate. The high-transmittance effect, which is nearly insensitive to wavelength, is characterized by modeling a gradient refractive-index profile bounded on discrete interfaces with surrounding media. {copyright} 2001 American Institute of Physics.
