The ZTO/Ag/ZTO-based multilayer thin film exhibits enhanced durability at high temperatures and humid environments by incorporating nitrogen. The bending test results-there was no significant change in the sheet resistance even after 10,000 bending cycles-highlight the mechanical flexibility of the ZTO/Ag/ZTO multilayer thin film. The ZTO/Ag/ZTO-based thin-film heater on PET, fabricated under optimized deposition gas conditions, exhibits a fast thermal response time of 30 s and a low driving voltage of 6 V to attain 100 degrees C. It also exhibits uniform heat distribution at saturated temperature and chemical stability after 100 heating-cooling cycles. Hence, the proposed ZTO/Ag/ZTO-based thin-film heater is applicable for use in front and rear window automobile and building applications.
