Abstract

In order to improve the electrical properties of ZnO thin films to a level comparable with ITO transparent electrodes, silver nanowires (AgNWs) were coated between two ZnO layers as an inter-layer to produce a multilayer transparent conductive thin film. To achieve this, a uniform and stable AgNW layer was first formed by spin coating, onto which ZnO layers were deposited by facing target sputtering to protect against damage and oxidation. This structure was found to negate the drawbacks of each material layer, with a sheet resistance of 34.5 ohm/sq. and a transmittance of 84.5% being achieved.
