Abstract

Transparent films are designed using the Macleod simulation program for optimum optical features. A metal oxide–metal–metal oxide (OMO) structure is applied for a transparent film with varying the thickness. ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) is adopted for the metal oxide material, and silver is selected for the metal layer. Using the Macleod program, an ITO/Ag/ITO (35 nm/20 nm/30 nm) structure is simulated to have transmittance values of 71% for visible light (at 550 nm), 24-5% for the infrared region (780-1400 nm), and zero transparency for the ultraviolet range. Based on the simulation results, an ITO/Ag/ITO film was practically fabricated to show similar transmittance profiles to Macleod simulation. This indicated that using the Macleod simulation tool was more efficient to satisfy the specific requirements for transmittance of absorption along the wavelengths for the functional design of transparent films.
