Abstract

Antimony doped tin oxyde thin films have been deposited by sol-gel method using non-alkoxide precursor SnCl$_2$$.$2H$_2$O as host and SbC1$_3$ as dopant material. Using spin coating method, thin films of thickness up to 200nm have been uniformly deposited on Corning 1737F non-alkali glass substrates. Effect of Sb doping concentration and heat treatment on electrical and optical properties was investigated. Heat treatment was performed at the temperature from 350$^{\circ}C$ to 650$^{\circ}C$ in flowing O$_2$. The resulting ATO films showed widely changing electrical resistivity and optical transmittance values in the visible spectrum depending on the composition and firing condition.
