Fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) thin films were synthesized by chemical spray pyrolysis method on glass substrates for 10 at.%, 15 at.%, 20 at.% of fluorine doping concentrations. Their structural, optical and electrical properties were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) study shows polycrystalline nature of the films with orthorhombic crystal structure. The grain size (D) was observed in the range of 14 nm to 30 nm. The FESEM images of the FTO thin films reveals that the films have smooth and homogeneous surface morphology with thin granular grains distributed throughout the surface. EDX analysis confirms the presence of Sn, O and F elements in the prepared FTO thin films. Photoluminescence (PL) spectrum shows a broad emission which covers near band edge (NBE) as well as deep level emissions (DLE) in the region 380 nm and 620 nm. From the hall effect measurements, it was observed that all the films exhibit n-type conductivity. The sample grown with 10 at. % of fluorine showed the highest transmission percentage (80%) with high mobility and conductivity, which are basic requirements for a TCO.

To investigate the influence of Ag concentration on physical properties, the Zn1-xAgxO films were synthesized by chemical spray pyrolysis method. The crystallite size was found to decrease for low concentration of Ag then increase upto 50 nm with increase in Ag content. AFM measurement implies that the roughness and grain size increased due to coalescence of petite grains into larger size. In optical measurement, band gap is found to be decreased with increase in filler concentration.

CdS and CdS:Sn thin films were successfully deposited on glasssubstrates by spray pyrolysis method. The films were grown atsubstrate temperatures 300 C°. The effects of Sn concentration on thestructural and optical properties were studied.The XRD profiles showed that the films are polycrystalline withhexagonal structure grown preferentially along the (002) axis. Theoptical studies exhibit direct allowed transition. Energy band gapvary from 3.2 to 2.7 eV.
