“…FTO is mechanically, chemically and electrochemically stable [3], and it is utilized in numerous technologies including; thin film solar cells [4], dielectric layers in low emissivity coatings for windows [5], in gas sensors applications [6] and in liquid crystal displays [7]. There are a number of methods/techniques to grow SnO2 (either doped or un-doped) films, including chemical vapor deposition [8], pulsed laser deposition [9], DC reactive sputtering [10] and spray pyrolysis [11].…”

“…There are many experimental techniques available to prepare undoped and doped SnO 2 , such as pulser laser deposition, spray pyrolysis, reactive evaporation, and sputtering [20][21][22]. The sputtering technique is very controllable, reproductible and has high growth rates.…”

“…The change in the absorption coefficient will change the transmittance of the films. Some authors found that the transmittance of thin films increases with the substrate temperature [12,31]; other workers found a decrease in the transmittance with substrate temperature [14] and others found no change in the transmittance of thin films with the substrate temperature [8]. The increase of transmittance with substrate temperature was recorded by Ashour [12] who found an increase of the transmittance with substrate temperature in the range 200-400 °C for undoped spray pyrolyzed CdS thin films of thickness 500 nm.…”

“…From these results it is confirmed that increasing the deposition temperature promotes phase transformation from cubic to hexagonal and improves the crystallinity in CdS films. Fig.1 displays the XRD diffractograms of spray-deposited SnO 2 :F thin films taken at different substrate temperatures by Yadav et al [31]. The grain size of the polycrystalline films greatly depends on the substrate temperature during deposition [1].…”
