Nanosized Metal and Anodic Oxides Films with Improved Optical Features For Displays and Photonic Devices

Abstract

A technique for fabrication of nanosized metal and anodic oxide films with improved optical features for displays and photonic devices is discussed. We found that for dielectric substrates like glasses the special method of current control should be applied during anodizing a metal film. This method can change the porous oxide structure at the final stage and prevent formation of metal islands. To transform the residual metal into oxide, special fading process similar to anode bonding can be used.
