Research output: Journal article publicationJournal articleAcademic researchpeer-review

Abstract

AZO/Cu/AZO multilayer films were prepared on glass substrate by radio frequency magnetron sputtering technology. The prepared films were investigated by a four-point probe system, X-ray diffraction, optical transmittance spectra, scanning electron microscope, atomic force microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results showed that Cu inner layer started forming a continuous film at the thickness around 11 nm. The prepared AZO/Cu/AZO samples exhibited the visible transmittance of 60–80 % and sample with 15 nm Cu inner layer showed the highest infrared reflection rate of 67 % in FIR region and the lowest sheet resistance of 16.6 Ω/sq. The proper visible transmittance and infrared reflection property of the AZO/Cu/AZO multilayer film make it a promising candidate for future energy conservation materials.
