Fabrication and characterization of Pt intermediate transparent and conducting ITO/Pt/ITO multilayer films

Influence of CuSn thickness on the work function and optoelectrical properties of ZnO/CuSn/ZnO multilayer films

“…In the ZCSZ films, the CuSn interlayer act as a conductive layer between the ZnO layers, and ZnO layers acts as an antireflection film that reduce the high reflectivity of the CuSn interlayer. From the previous study [11], the ITO films show the lower optical transmittance than that of the ZnO films prepared in this study. Thus, the ZCSZ films may show better result than other materials in terms of F TH .…”

“…The F TC reaches a maximum of 4.5 Â 10 À3 X À1 for the ZCSZ film with a 5 nm thick CuSn interlayer. Table 3 shows the F TC for the ZCSZ and variant ITO/metal/ITO films which have same thickness condition [11,12]. In the ZCSZ films, the CuSn interlayer act as a conductive layer between the ZnO layers, and ZnO layers acts as an antireflection film that reduce the high reflectivity of the CuSn interlayer.…”

Improved conductivity of indium-tin-oxide film through the introduction of intermediate layer

“…4(a), the insertion of metal layer does not compress the optical window width in visible region, unlike the reported Ag/Au and Pt intermediate layer which demonstrated decreased transmittance beyond~600 nm [6,15]. This observation proposes that our ITO/x are suitable to serve as transparent conducting electrodes for optoelectronic devices.…”

“…To date, the frequently investigated metal layers for ITO/metal/ITO structure focus on the precious metals Pt, Ag, Au, and a few studies are based on Cu and Ni [6,14,15]. These materials are favored due to their low resistivity, in particular, Ag and Cu of lowest resistivity among all bulk metals [16].…”
