Tin-doped Zinc Oxide (Sn-doped ZnO) thin films were prepared using zinc nitrate hexahydrate as a starting material by sol-gel immersion method. Then the synthesized samples were characterized by current-voltage (I-V) measurement and FESEM. The Sn doping concentration were varied at 0.2 at.%, 0.4 at.%, 0.6 at.%, 0.8 at.% and 1.0 at.%. The result suggests that the optimum value for Sn doping concentration was 0.8 at.% which exhibited the highest conductive sample with value of 3.00 ×10-6 S/cm.

“…As Sn concentration increased, it is clearly found that the surface morphology of Sn-doped ZnO thin film has become more denser and less grain boundary due to the attraction between two different particles which is Sn and ZnO materials [7]. Thus might help in improvement in electrical properties which also in agreement with the electrical properties results.…”

Tin-doped Zinc Oxide (Sn-doped ZnO) thin films were prepared using zinc nitrate hexahydrate as a starting material by sol-gel immersion method. The synthesized samples were characterized by current-voltage (I-V) measurement and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). The Sn doping concentration were varied at 1.0 at.%, 2.0 at.%, 3.0 at.% and 4.0 at.%. FESEM images show that as the Sn concentration increased, the nanoparticles size of Sn-doped ZnO become denser and less grain boundary which might help in improvement of the electrical properties.

“…As the Sn doping concentration increased, it is clearly found that the surface morphology of Sn doped ZnO has more close pack film, larger particles and also less grain boundary due to the attraction between two different. particles which is Sn and ZnO materials [6]. Moreover, there is an increase in grain size as a function of increase in Sn dopant concentration.…”
