Abstract
In this paper, the metallorganic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) for the growth of thin films of In2O3:Sn is described. Through pyrolysis and oxidation of indium acetylacetonate using (CH3)4SN as a tin source in a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere, thin films are deposited on hot 410-500°C glass and (111) silicon single crystal substrates. Characterisation of the films by X-ray diffraction, SEM and UV absorption spectra are reported. The films (thickness ~ 1000Å) show a minimum sheet resistance value of [MATH]. The structure and morphology of the In2O3:Sn films are also described. Application of these films has been suggested for antireflection coatings in solar cells. They can be used to improve the conversion efficiency of solar energy.
