摘要
The change from tetragonal to orthorhombic phase due to annealing also changes the electrical and optical properties of tin oxide thin films. X-ray diffraction and Atomic force microscopy studies reveal the changes in the phase and grain merger with annealing of as-grown tin oxide thin films. Optical bandgap increase with annealing confirms the improvement in the quality of film transparency. Electrical conductivity also shows an increasing trend with annealing. Parameters such as activation energy, optical bandgap, average roughness, and extinction coefficient have been determined and interpreted with respect to annealing.
