The Optical Properties of Thin Films Tin Oxide with Triple Doping (Aluminum, Indium, and Fluorine) for Electronic Device

Abstract:

Tin oxide (SnO₂) thin film is a form of modification of semiconductor material in nanosize. The thin film study aims to analyze the effect of triple doping (Aluminum, Indium, and Fluorine) on the optical properties of SnO₂: (Al + In + F) thin films. Aluminum, Indium, and Fluorine as doping SnO₂ with a mass percentage of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25% of the total thin-film material. The addition of Al, In, and F doping causes the thin film to change optical properties, namely the transmittance and absorbance values ​​changing. The transmittance value is 67.50, 73.00, 82.30, 87.30, 94.6, and 99.80 which is at a wavelength of 350 nm for the lowest to the highest doping percentage, respectively. The absorbance value increased with increasing doping percentage at 300 nm wavelength of 0.52, 0.76, 0.97, 1.05, 1.23, and 1.29 for 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25% doping percentages, respectively. The absorbance value is then used to find the gap energy of the SnO₂: (Al + In + F) thin film of the lowest doping percentage to the highest level i.e. 3.60, 3.55, 3.51, 3.47, 3.42, and 3.41 eV. Thin-film activation energy also decreased with values of 2.27, 2.04, 1.85, 1.78, 1.72, and 1.51 eV, respectively for an increasing percentage of doping. The thin-film SnO₂: (Al + In + F) which experiences a gap energy reduction and activation energy makes the thin film more conductive because electron mobility from the valence band to the conduction band requires less energy and faster electron movement as a result of the addition of doping.
