Abstract

Tin oxide films were successfully crystallized without additional heating by inductively coupled plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (ICP-CVD). The degree of crystallization was affected by the ICP power, hydrogen flow and ion bombardment induced by negative substrate bias. The substrate temperature was increased only up to $150^{\sim}180^{\circ}C$ by plasma heating, which suggests that the formation of $SnO_2$ crystalswas caused by enhanced reactivity of precursors in high density plasma. The hardness of deposited tin oxide films ranged from 5.5 to 11GPa at different hydrogen flow rates.
