Optical and Electrical Properties of AZO/Ag/AZO Transparent Conductive Films Prepared by RF Magnetron Sputtering Using Powder Targets
The sandwich films composed of aluminum doped zinc oxide (AZO)/silver (Ag)/aluminum doped zinc oxide (AZO) layers were prepared on glass substrates by RF magnetron sputtering using AZO powder target and solid Ag target at room temperature. Two groups of AZO/Ag/AZO films were deposited with Ag thickness of 12 nm and 15 nm. The optical and electrical properties of the sandwich films were investigated. The results show that the average transmittance of the films are about 80% within the visible wavelength
and the highest transmittance is 88% at 550 nm. The sheet resistances of the multilayer films are lower than 5 /□. The thickness of Ag layer is the main factor to affect the optical and electrical properties of AZO/Ag/AZO films. The thickness of AZO layer has a certain effect on the optical properties of the sandwich films.
