초록

We deposited transparent conductive ZTO/Ag/ZTO trilayer thin films on glass substrates through magnetron sputtering, and then conducted intense electron beam irradiation on their surfaces to investigate the effects of electron irradiation on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of these films. After deposition, we electron irradiated the ZTO/Ag/ZTO films for 10 min at electron energies of 300, 500, and 700 eV. The films that were electron irradiated at 700 eV showed a higher optical transmittance (84.2%) in the visible wavelength region and a lower resistivity ($7.2{\times}10^{-5}{\Omega}cm$) compared with the other films. The figure of merit revealed that the ZTO/Ag/ZTO films that were electron irradiated at 700 eV had a higher optical and electrical performance than the other films prepared in this study.
