ZnO/Cu/ZnO transparent conductive thin films were prepared by RF sputtering deposition of ZnO target and DC sputtering deposition of Cu target on n-type (001) Si and glass substrates at room temperature. The morphology, structure, optical, and electrical properties of the multilayer films were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV/Vis spectrophotometer, and Hall effect measurement system. The influence of Cu layer thickness and the oxygen pressure in sputtering atmosphere on the film properties were studied. ZnO/Cu/ZnO transparent conductive film fabricated in pure Ar atmosphere with 10 nm Cu layer thickness has the best performance: resistivity of 2.3 x 10(-4) Omega center dot cm, carrier concentration of 6.44 x 10(16) cm(-2), mobility of 4.51 cm(2)center dot(V center dot s)(-1), and acceptable average transmittance of 80 % in the visible range. The transmittance and conductivity of the films fabricated with oxygen are lower than those of the films fabricated without oxygen, which indicates that oxygen atmosphere does not improve the optical and electrical properties of ZnO/Cu/ZnO films.
