Article Citation - WoS: 33Citation - Scopus: 39High Transparent, Low Surface Resistance Zto/Ag Multilayer Thin Film Electrodes on Glass and Polymer Substrates(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021) Ekmekçioğlu, Merve; Erdoğan, Nursev; Astarlıoğlu, Aziz Taner; Yiğen, Serap; Aygün, Gülnur; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Özdemir, MehtapZinc tin oxide (ZTO)/Ag/ZTO multilayer thin films were grown by direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering technique at room temperature on soda lime glass (SLG) and different polymer substrates such as polycarbonate (PC) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) for transparent conductive electrode (TCE) applications. The effect of substrate on the structural, optical and electrical characteristics of ZTO/Ag/ZTO multilayers was investigated. All prepared ZTO/Ag/ZTO films presented amorphous structure as expected from room temperature deposition process and smooth surface quality with very low surface roughness. We found that ZTO/Ag/ZTO multilayer films grown on SLG, PET and PC substrates have very high optical transmission and low surface resistance. Moreover, after ZTO/Ag/ZTO multilayer thin film deposition on polymer substrates, the optical transmission was found to be enhanced because the higher absorption due to Ag layer is compensated by lower reflectance. Our results suggest that ZTO/Ag/ZTO multilayer thin films on any substrate can be a promising alternative to indium tin oxide (ITO) films as a cost-effective, indium-free, flexible and transparent electrode for various applications.Article Citation - WoS: 63Citation - Scopus: 72Ito/Au Multilayer Thin Films on Transparent Polycarbonate With Enhanced Emi Shielding Properties(Elsevier, 2020) Erdoğan, Nursev; Erden, Fuat; Astarlıoğlu, A. Taner; Özdemir, Mehtap; Özbay, Salih; Aygün, Gülnur; Özyüzer, LütfiITO/Au/ITO multilayer thin films were deposited onto polycarbonate substrate via magnetron sputtering technique without intentional heating. The deposition times of both ITO and Au layers were studied to optimize the overall transparency and conductivity. As-prepared thin films were characterized using X-ray diffraction analysis, secondary ion mass spectroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and physical property measurement system. The optical measurement results revealed that the transmittance of the films were enhanced by increasing the gold deposition time up to 15 s. Beyond this point, further increasing the duration caused a decrease in optical transmittance. Upon optimization of the Au deposition time, the deposition duration of ITO layers was also studied to increase electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (SE). Maximum EMI SE in this work was measured as 26.8 dB, yielding 99.8% power attenuation, which was verified by simulation results.
