Sb doped tin oxide films (ATO) were fabricated on Quart glasses from (SnO2 + Sb2O3) mixture ceramic target by direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering in Ar ambient gas at working pressure of 2.10-3 torr. X ray diffraction (XRD), Hall - effect measurements and UV-vis spectra were performed to characterize the deposited films. The substrate temperature of films was investigated for two ways. Films were annealed in Ar ambient gas after deposited at room temperature in one way. They were deposited directly with different temperatures in the other. It is found that the fabricated of ATO films in the first way was easier than the other. Deposited films showed p type electrical property, polycrystalline tetragonal rutile structure and their average transmittance was above 80 % in visible light range at the optimum annealing temperature of 500oC. The best electrical properties of film were obtained on 10 %wt Sb2O3 doped SnO2 target with its resistivity, hole concentration and Hall mobility are 0.55 Ω.cm, 1.2.1019 cm-3 and 0.54 cm2V-1s-1, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
