Low temperature deposition of transparent conducting ITO/Au/ITO films by reactive magnetron sputtering

Influence of a Ni interlayer on the optical and electrical properties of trilayer GZO/Ni/GZO films

“…This indicates that the crystallinity of the GZO film deteriorated with the addition of an amorphous Ni interlayer in GZO/Ni/GZO films. In a previous study, Kim et al reported that the microstructure of the upper ITO film in trilayer ITO/ Au/ITO film is aligned with the (400) plane corresponding to the indium oxide bixbyite structure due to the presence of a crystalline Au interlayer [10]. However, the GZO/Ni/GZO films showed different results in that a Ni interlayer did not affect the GZO crystallization in this study.…”

Nanocoatings for architectural glass

“…Two types of coatings are used for the following practical applications: 3,4,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] • low-e coatings for reduction of heat losses through the glazing due to refl ection of long-wavelength IR radiation back into the building interior; • low-e solar control coatings for the elimination of solar gains due to the refl ection of the near IR part of solar radiation into the exterior.…”

Characterization of molybdenum doped indium oxide/aluminum doped zinc oxide thin film stacks for optoelectronic applications

“…The metal-layer in tri-layer structures should be thin, uniform, continuous, and it should exhibit crystallization for low resistivity and high transmittance. The reports on ITO/metal/ITO films with an embedded metal layer of about 10 nm thickness are very promising [19,20]. The structural, electrical, and optical properties of the GZO/Au/GZO multilayers are reported as a function of varying Au metal interlayer thickness from 0 to 12 nm [8], wherein 9 nm interlayer is shown to be the optimal.…”
