ABSTRACT UNDOPED AND SB-DOPED SNO2 FILMS , 100 NM THICK HAVE BEEN DEPOSITED BY ELECTRON BEAM EVAPORATION FROM BULK SAMPLES PREPARED USING SINTERING TECHNIQUE. EITHER UNDOPED OR SB-DOPED SNO2 FILMS ARE NEARLY AMORPHOUS, RESISTIVE AND TRANSPARENT. WITH INCREASING SB CONTENT, THE RESISTIVITY SLIGHTLY DECREASES AND THEN INCREASES WITH FURTHER ADDITION OF SB, WHICH ACTS AS DONOR AND/OR ACCEPTOR IMPURITY ATOM ... Read more

Undoped and Sb-doped SnO2 films ∼100 nm thick have been deposited by electron beam evaporation from bulk samples prepared using sintering technique. Either undoped or Sb-doped SnO2 films are nearly amorphous, resistive and transparent. With increasing Sb content, the resistivity slightly decreases and then increases with further addition of Sb, which acts as donor and/or acceptor impurity atom in the ... Read more
