Abstract

A Mg(OH)2–C transparent conductive film was prepared using the sputtering method by the initial formation of a Mg-C film generated by the alternate layering of Mg and C on a rotating substrate and subsequent exposure of the film to atmospheric water vapor. To examine the influence exerted by the Mg/C layers of the starting film sample on semiconductivity,evaluations of the electrical conductivity properties of the film during the hydroxylation process and the optical properties after the hydroxylation process were carried out. As a result, although no effects on the characteristics of the electrical conductivity properties associated with the composition or number of layers in the films could be confirmed, it was determined that the films possessed the characteristics of semiconductors. On the other hand, the optical properties were found to be affected by the composition and number of layers of the Mg/C films.
