Abstract

Fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) thin film was coated on aluminosilicate glass at 450°C by spray pyrolysis method. In the range of 0-2.7 molar ratio of F/Sn, the variations of electrical conductivity and visible light transmission were investigated. At the F/Sn ratio of 1.765, the film showed the lowest electrical resistivity value of 3.0×10-4Ω cm, the highest carrier concentration of 2.404×1021/cm3, and about 8 cm2/V sec of electronic mobility. The FTO film showed a preferred orientation of (200) plane parallel to the substrate. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis results indicated that the contents of Sn4+-O bonding are the highest at 1.765 of F/Sn molar ratio.
