Effect of an Ag Insertion Layer on the Optical and Electrical Properties of Ga Doped Zinc Oxide Films.

GZO/Ag/GZO films were investigated for use as high quality transparent conductive electrodes. The GZO and Ag films were deposited by RF sputtering and electron beam evaporation, respectively, at room temperature. The effects of Ag thickness and post heat treatment on the structural, electrical and optical properties of these multilayer films were investigated.
