초록
In this work, we studied the influence of the dopant elements concentration on the properties of SnO2 thin films deposited by pulsed laser deposition. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Hall effect measurement and UV-Vis studies were performed to characterize the deposited films. XRD results showed that the films had polycrystalline nature with tetragonal rutile structure. FE-SEM micrographs revealed that the as deposited films composed of dense microstructures with uniform grain size distribution. All the films show n-type conduction and the best transparent conductive oxide (TCO) performance was obtained on 6 wt% Sb2O5 doped SnO2 film prepared at pO2 of 60mtorr and Ts of 500 ℃. Its resitivity, optical transmittance, figure of merit are 7.8 × 10-4 Ω cm, 85% and 1.2 × 10-2 Ω-1, respectively.
