Fluorine-Doped Tin Dioxide Thin Films Prepared by Thermal Decomposition of Metallic Complex Salts

Abstract
Fluorine-doped tin dioxide thin films were prepared by thermal decomposition of metallic complex salts. Films of high transparency and low electric resistivity (2.68×10-3 Ω·cm) were obtained by dip coating glass substrates with a raw-material solution followed by heating at 500°C for 60 min in a nitrogen atmosphere.
