PROCESS FOR FORMING OPTICALLY CLEAR CONDUCTIVE METAL OR METAL ALLOY THIN FILMS AND FILMS MADE THEREFROM

摘要

A process of forming optically clear conductive metal or metal alloy thin films is provided that includes depositing the metal or metal alloy film on a polycrystalline seed layer that has been deposited directly on a nucleation layer of metal oxide comprising zinc oxide. Also conductive films made by this process are provided. In some embodiments, the metal alloy thin films include silver/gold alloys.
