Claim:
1. An article comprising: a transparent substrate; a transparent conductive oxide film comprising fluorine-doped tin oxide disposed on the substrate; the transparent conductive oxide film comprising a plurality of two or more layers adjacent to and in direct contact with one another, forming an interface between the layers; one or more voids located at the interface, the one or more voids having individual diameters of from about 0.5 nm to 3 nm; wherein the plurality of two or more layers each comprise a crystal structure, and wherein the crystal structures are mismatched due to interruptions of the crystal structure at the interface or intentional mismatch of the crystal orientations in each layer; and an optional additional transparent conductive oxide layer disposed on the transparent conductive oxide film, wherein the additional transparent conductive oxide layer has an altered crystal structure relative to the two or more layers.
