摘要：

Tin oxide (SnO2) thin films were grown on Si (10 0) substrates using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) in O-2 gas ambient (10 Pa) and at different substrate temperatures (RT, 150, 300 and 400 degrees C. The influence of the substrate temperature on the structural and morphological properties of the films was investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD measurements showed that the almost amorphous microstructure transformed into a polycrystalline SnO2 phase. The film deposited at 400 degrees C has the best crystalline properties, i.e. optimum growth conditions. However, the film grown at 300 degrees C has minimum average root mean square (RMS) roughness of 3.1 nm with average grain size of 6.958nm. The thickness of the thin films determined by the ellipsometer data is also presented and discussed. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
