Abstract

$SnO_2$ thin films have been prepared by chemical vapor deposition technique. Electrical and optical properties of the films have been investigated. It is found that the electrical condictivity and optical transparency of the films are most affected by deposition temperature and more affected by $SnCl_4$ partial pressure than by $O_2$ partial pressure. Experimental results show that the conductivity increases with high optical transparency as deposition temperature increases up to 50$0^{\circ}C$ but the conductivity decreases with the loss of transparency as deposition temperature increases above $600^{\circ}C$.
