Transparent conducting oxide (TCO) thin films are materials of significance for their applications in optoelectronics and sun powered cells. Fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) is an elective material in the advancement of TCO films. This paper reports the impact of fluorine doping on structural, optical and electrical properties of tin oxide thin films for solar cells application. The sol-gel was prepared from anhydrous stannous chloride, SnCl2 as an originator, 2-methoxyethanol as a solvent, di-ethanolamine as a preservative and ammonium fluoride as the dopant source. FTO precursor solution was formulated to obtain 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 % doping concentration and deposited on glass substrates by means of spin coater at the rate of 2000 rpm for 40 seconds. After pre-heated at 200 oC, the samples were annealed at 600 oC for 2 h. The structural, optical and electrical characteristics of prepared films were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, UV-visible spectroscopy and electrical measurement. X-ray diffraction (XRD) investigation of the films demonstrated that the films were polycrystalline in nature with tetragonal-cassiterite structure with most extraordinary pinnacle having a grain size of 17.01 nm. Doping with fluorine decreases the crystallite size. There was increment in the absorbance of the film with increasing wavelength and the transmittance was basically reduced with increasing fluorine doping in the visible region. The energy band gaps were in the range of 4.106-4.121 eV. The sheet resistance were observed to decrease as the doping percentage of fluorine increased with exception at higher doping of 15 and 20 %. In view of these outcomes, FTO thin films prepared could have useful application in transparent conducting oxide electrode in solar cell.

Structural And Electrical Properties

Aluminium (Al) doped zinc oxide (ZnO) has been considered as one of the promising transparent conducting oxide for wide applications in electronic devices. In this investigation, sol-gel spin coating process were employed to fabricate Al:ZnO on glass coated with indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate. In order to expose the effects of aluminium concentration on the structural and electrical properties of the ZnO films, different Al concentrations (1 at.%, 3 at.% and 5 at.%) were used. A field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and a two point probe were employed to examined the material properties of the Al:ZnO films. Through the FESEM results, the Al:ZnO films show different morphologies behaviour with increasing the Al concentrations. Besides, the electrical conductivity was increased by increasing the dopant source and the lowest resistivity was obtained at 5 at.%. In general, the Al concentration exerts strong influence on the ZnO films properties. Keywords: Transparent conducting oxide, X-ray diffraction, sol gel

The Difference

Abstract The green body and dense substrate of indium tin oxide was joined by uniaxially pressing at 0.3 MPa at 1300°C to test the restoring of the eroded part of transparent conducting oxide target. The green body was sintered to 98% of theoretical density under the suppression of shrinkage along the boundary below 5%. The boundary between two parts was free of pore but could be recognized from the difference in grain sizes. The joined part had the virtually same density with the substrate, but the grain size was less than one fifth compared with that of substrate.
