Description
Summary:In the present work, preparation of transparent conductive SnO2 thin films by classical-oxidation technique of thermal evaporated tin metal films, on glass substrates was carried out. The optical properties showed high transmission at visible and NIR regions. The energy band gap was found to be (3.82eV). The structure properties showed that the tin oxide peak appears at (2q =30.24) and (2ϴ=63.39°) . The atomic force microscopy (AFM) results showed a nano-structured for the thin film with particle size ranging (15-140)nm and its root mean square (RMS) value was found to be (5.72 nm ).
