Original Abstract Submitted

a superstrate can comprise a core body having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface and the second surface being opposite to each other; an electrically conductive layer directly overlying the first surface of the core body; and a capping layer directly overlying the conductive layer, wherein the core body can have an electrical conductivity of not greater than 10s/m; the conductive layer is metal-free and comprises an electrical conductivity of at least 10s/m and a uv transparency at 365 nm of at least 80%; and the capping layer includes a fluoropolymer and has a uv transparency at 365 nm of at least 80%. the capping layer can contribute to an increase of the electrical conductivity of the underlying electrically conductive layer.
