摘要
SnO2 thin films were deposited on (100), (110), and (111) yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) substrates using plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD), and their structural, electrical, and optical properties were investigated. X-ray diffraction, X-ray pole figure, and high resolution TEM analyses revealed that orthorhombic (100) and (110) SnO2 films were hetero-epitaxially grown on (100) and (110) YSZ, respectively. The determined in-plane orientation relationships were and ((100)YSZ) and and ((110)YSZ). However, polycrystalline rutile SnO2 films were deposited on the (111) YSZ substrate. All the SnO2 films exhibited a similar electrical resistivity of 鈭?脳10鈭? 惟 cm and the average transmittance of 78%in the visible range and thus the electrical and optical properties were not noticeably changed with film orientation and phase.
