Abstract ITO/MgF2 composite film has good surface conductivity and high transmittance, which can be applied to the anti-static & anti-reflection composite layer of space solar cell’s glass cover. This work mainly focused on the outerlayer (i.e. ultra-thin ITO film) of the ITO/MgF2 composite film. We conducted a simulation upon the effect of ITO film’s thickness on the composite film’s optical properties via TFCalc software, premised on which an MgF2 thin film and an ITO thin film were sequentially deposited on a glass substrate by electron beam evaporation. The influences of processing parameters (deposition rate, deposition temperature and working pressure) and thickness of ITO thin film on the optical, electrical properties and microstructure of ITO/MgF2 composite thin film were studied. By applying 0.05 nm/s deposition rate, 400 ℃ deposition temperature, 2.3×10-2 Pa working pressure and 10 nm ITO thickness, we obtained a substantial continuity and a satisfactory sheet resistance (1.94 kΩ/□) of the ITO layer with which the ITO/MgF2 composite film’s average transmittance in the visible range (400—800 nm) reached 89.00%.
