Abstract:
A multilayered transparent conductive film of amorphous SiInZnO/Ag/amorphous SiInZnO (SIZO/Ag/SIZO) was fabricated and characterized. The electrical and optical properties of the multilayers changed with changes in the Ag film thickness. The electrodes with the optimized thickness showed an excellent average transmittance (Tav) of 94.04% and a high figure of merit (FOM) of 38.1×10-3 Ω-1. As the Ag layer thickness increased over 9 nm, the FOM and sheet resistance decreased. This result could be attributed to the decrease in Tav due to light absorption and reflection from the thick Ag layer.

Electrical Conductivity
In a practical conductor, an applied electric field may be sustained, causing a flow of electrons, which produce a current. The differential form of the current, the current density, is related to the electric field.
More generally, it is related to the force per unit charge, which involves the...
