Morphology, optical and electrical properties of tin oxide thin films prepared by spray pyrolysis method

Abstract EN

Transparent conducting tin oxide thin films have been prepared by spray pyrolysis technique.

Structure, optical and electrical properties of prepared films at different concentration (0.

1, 0.

2,0.

3,0.

4) mol/litter were studied at substrate temperature (550ºC) .UV-Vis spectrophotometer shows that the transmittance increases with the decrease in the concentration of SnO2 thin films and it received 87 % for the lower concentration (0.1 mol/litter).

From AFM image notice that the smoothness and homogeneous of the films are decreasing with increasing the aqueous solution molarity.

I-V characteristic of the SnO2 films shows the thin film behavior was close to Ohm’s law.
