Claim Text:
1. A thin-film transparent conductive structure comprising: (a) a substrate; and (b) a metallic layer disposed on the substrate and having therein an array of a plurality of apertures having an average size of 250 nm to 425 nm as measured in the largest dimension and an average nearest-neighbor spacing of 300 nm to 450 nm, and wherein the metallic layer has thickness of 20 nm to 120 nm and a DC sheet resistance of 100 ohms per square or less, the apertures define an areal filling fraction of at least 45%, and the thin-film transparent conductive structure exhibits an enhanced transmission of at least 60%, as measured over a range of wavelengths from 400 nm to 700 nm.
