It is shown that a very thin layer of Sb may be used as a surfactant to modify the growth of silver films on an insulating substrate. The conduction (percolation) current flowing through a dispersed Ag film appears at a significantly smaller thickness due to the change in the growth mode of silver islands. Some practical applications are indicated.
