What is Properties of Highly Oriented Spray-deposited Fluorine-doped Tin Oxide Thin Films on Glass Substrates of Different Thickness about?

Transparent conducting thin films of fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) have been deposited onto the preheated glass substrates of different thickness by spray pyrolysis process using SnCl 4 Á 5H 2 O and NH 4 F precursors. Substrate thickness is varied from 1 to 6 mm. The films are grown using mixed solvent with propane-2-ol as organic solvent and distilled water at optimized substrate temperature of 475 1C. Films of thickness up to 1525 nm are grown by a fine spray of the source solution using compressed air as a carrier gas. The films have been characterized by the techniques such as X-ray diffraction, optical absorption, van der Pauw technique, and Hall effect. The asdeposited films are preferentially oriented along the (2 0 0) plane and are of polycrystalline SnO 2 with a tetragonal crystal structure having the texture coefficient of 6.19 for the films deposited on 4 mm thick substrate. The lattice parameter values remain unchanged with the substrate thickness. The grain size varies between 38 and 48 nm. The films exhibit moderate optical transmission up to 70% at 550 nm. The figure of merit (f) varies from 1.36 Â 10 À4 to 1.93 Â 10 À3 O À1 . The films are heavily doped, therefore
