Abstract

Transparent conducting tin oxide films were prepared by an electron beam evaporation technique. As-deposited films were amorphous or polycrystalline depending on the substrate temperature and the time of deposition. In order to get transparent and conducting thin films of SnO2, as-deposited films were subjected to further heat-treatment in air at 650°C for 2 hours. Physical properties of as-deposited and annealed films are discussed with reference to substrate temperature and deposition time.
