Preparation of Sb:F:SnO₂ Films and their Application in Low-E Glass

In this paper, fluorine & antimony-doped tin oxide (FATO) transparent conductive thin films are deposited by Spray Pyrolysis on glass substrate, and low emissivity properties achieved. The emissivity of glass in far infrared region is optimized by changing the spray volume, the resistivity and sheet resistance of thin films. Research shows that the resistivity of thin films has important influence on infrared reflectance and hemispheric emissivity. This paper further investigates the quantitative relationship between emissivity and resistivity of low-E glass and also provides a basis for emissivity control and performance evaluation of Low-E glass.
