Abstract

Fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) films have been deposited by pulsed DC magnetron sputtering with an Sn target. Various ratios of ${CF}_{4} / O_{2}$ gas were injected to enhance the optical and electrical properties of the films. The extinction coefficient was lower than $1.5 \times 10^{- 3}$ in the range from 400 to $800 nm$ when the ${CF}_{4} / O_{2}$ ratio was 0.375. The resistivity of fluorine-doped ${SnO}_{2}$ films ( $1.63 \times 10^{- 3} Ω cm$ ) deposited at $300 ° C$ was 27.9 times smaller than that of undoped ${SnO}_{2}$ ( $4.55 \times 10^{- 2} Ω cm$ ). Finally, an FTO film was consecutively deposited for protecting the oxidation of indium tin oxide films. The resistivity of the double-layered film was $2.68 \times 10^{- 4} Ω cm$ , which increased by less than 39% at a $450 ° C$ annealing temperature for $1 h$ in air.
