Structural Properties of Sn-Doped ZnO Thin Films Deposited on Glass Substrate Using Sol-Gel Immersion Method

Abstract:

Tin-doped Zinc Oxide (Sn-doped ZnO) thin films were prepared using zinc acetate dehydrate as a starting material by sol-gel immersion method. The doping concentrations were varied at 0 at.%, 1.0 at.%, 2.0 at.% and 3.0 at.%. The synthesized samples were characterized by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM).
