Abstract

Sb doped SnO2(ATO:Antinomy doped Tin Oxide) thin films were prepared by a DC magnetron spttuering method using oxide target and the deposition characteristics were investigated. The experimental conditions are as follows :Ar flow rate : 100 sccm oxygen flow rates ; 0-100 sccm deposition temperature ; 250 -40$0^{\circ}C$ DC sputter powder ; 150~550 W and sputtering pressure ; ; 2~7 mTorr. Deposition rate greatly depends not on the deposition temperature but on the reaction pressure oxygen flow rate and sputter power,. when the sputter powder is low ATO thin films with (110) preferred orientation are deposited. And when the sputter power is high (110) prefered orientation appeares with decreasing of oxygen flow rate and increasing of suputte-ring pressure.
