摘要
Original ZnO/Cu/Ag/MoO3 multilayer structures were deposited under vacuum. The optical transmittance spectrum of these structures is significantly broadened by using a double layer as metal interlayer. While the thickness of Ag was 6 nm, that of Cu was used as parameter. The highest averaged transmittance, 88% between 400 and 700 nm is obtained with the structure ZnO (20 nm)/ Cu (3 nm)/Ag (6 nm)/ MoO3. However, a better factor of merit is achieved, Phi(M) = 16 x 10(-3), when the Cu thickness is 4 nm, making that these innovative ZnO/CulAg/MoO3 structures are very promising for use as substitute to ITO electrodes.
