“…We note that no interference fringes were observed, which considered to be an opposite result of ZTO films obtained by RF magnetron sputtering [18] or by chemical techniques as MOCVD [21]. The value of the optical gap energy E g of Zn 2 SnO 4 thin film (sample B2) was determined using the Tauc relation [21]:…”

In order to study the Zinc Tin Oxide (ZTO) as an alternative buffer layer to replace CdS in thin films solar cells, we synthesized the (Zn,Sn)O material using the vacuum thermal evaporation of the metal compounds, Tin and Zinc, followed by annealing treatments. The obtained samples were divided into two groups according to the amount of Tin used during the thermal evaporation while the amount of Zinc remains invariant. The first group of ZTO thin films was made using a Tin amount of 0.312 g and annealed in air at different temperatures (samples A). The second group was made using a less amount of Tin (0.156 g) (samples B). Part of these samples were annealed in air atmosphere (samples B1) whereas the other sample was annealed under vacuum then annealed in air (sample B2). The annealing process was mainly dedicated to the oxidation treatment of Sn/Zn metallic bilayers but it also plays an important role to improve the crystallinity of the as-deposited films. The structural, optical and electrical properties of the prepared films were characterized using X-ray diffraction, UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometry and impedance spectroscopy, respectively. We have succeeded to obtain a stable cubic spinel structure of Zn 2 SnO 4 phase (sample B2). This thin film showed interesting properties such as a direct band gap energy of value of 3.20 eV, a high optical transmission of 80% and a n-type electrical conductivity.

“…Moreover, vapor phase techniques have also been used for the synthesis of nanostructured materials. These techniques include laser ablation, 75 vapour–liquid–solid, 37 thermal evaporation, 76 molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), 77 metal–organic chemical vapour deposition 78 and magnetron sputtering. 79 The choice of the method for the synthesis of ZnSnO 3 primarily relies on the desired dimensions of the nanostructures.…”
