Abstract

Tin oxide films have been prepared on glass substrates by spray pyrolysis technique. The electrical and optical properties of undoped and antimony-doped tin oxide films have been studied. The temperature dependence of electron mobility has been analyzed to establish the electron conduction mechanism. Optical properties near the plasma edge have been analyzed using Drude's theory. The dependence of effective mass on carrier concentration has been explained on the basis of nonparabolicity of the conduction band. The shift in the Fermi energy, calculated on the basis of energy dependent effective mass, is consistent with the measured shift in the absorption edge.
