Preparation of AZO/Ag/AZO Transparent Conductive Films Deposited on Glass and Polyimide Substrates Using Powder Targets
The sandwich films composed of aluminum ions doped zinc oxide (AZO)/silver(Ag)/AZO films were prepared on polyimide (PI) and glass substrates by RF magnetron sputtering using the powder AZO target and the solid Ag target at room temperature. The effect of the thicknesses of AZO layers on the structure
optical and electrical properties of the sandwich films was investigated. The results show that the as-deposited films are polycrystalline on both PI and glass substrates. The changes of the electrical properties of the sandwich films are not obvious
and the positions of the highest transmittance shift towards the long wavelength region with the increasing of AZO thickness. When the thicknesses of the films are 30 nm of AZO and 14 nm of Ag
the sheet resistances are as low as 2.6 /□ and 4.6 /□ on glass and PI substrates
respectively. The transmittances of the films at 550 nm are 85% on glass and 70% on PI substrates.
