Effects of Sn Dopant on Structural and Optical Properties of ZnO Thin Film Prepared by Sol-Gel Route

Abstract:

Tin doped zinc oxide (Sn:ZnO) thin films were prepared on glass substrates via sol-gel dip-coating technique starting from zinc acetate dehydrate, (CH₃CO₂)₂Zn⋅2H₂O and tin chloride, SnCl₂. The consequences of various Sn doping on the behavior of the film was investigated. The atomic percentages of dopant in ZnO-based solution were [Sn⁴⁺]/[Zn²⁺] which is between 0% and 4%. The thin films were characterized using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) and UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer.
