The effects of substrate materials on the crystallization conditions of ITO thin films during KrF excimer laser annealing were investigated. ITO films deposited on alkali-free glass and Al2O3 substrates with different thermal conductivities were irradiated by laser pulses. A reduction in sheet resistance was achieved at lower fluence on glass substrates, whereas higher fluence was required on Al2O3 substrates. This difference is attributed to variations in thermal dissipation and thermal history during laser irradiation.
