Abstract
Transparent and conducting films of pure and antimony doped tin oxide have been prepared by spray technique. An optimum value of 18 ohm per unit area sheet resistance with 82% optical transmission has been obtained. Detailed studies of electrical and optical properties of these films have been made as a function of antimony concentration. The films behave like degenerate semiconductors. The low value of effective mass for undoped tin oxide films indicates a distortion in Fermi surface. The effective mass was found to increase with antimony concentration up to 6 mole % and the Fermi level shifted towards the conduction band. These films have been used as base contact layers in the special inverted configuration of sprayed Cu2S-CdS solar cells.
