The effect of Cu layer thickness on the optical and electrical properties of the Cu film deposited on a PET substrate with a Ga2O3 buffer layer was studied, and an appropriate Cu layer thickness of 4.2 nm was obtained. Changes in the optoelectrical properties of Cu（4.2 nm）/ITO（30 nm） films were investigated with respect to the Ga2O3 buffer layer thickness.
