  • Abstract
    Control of fluorine doping levels in tin oxide (FTO) is important for optimizing the electrical and optical properties of this TCO. In this work, a model was developed to estimate the equilibrium F solubility in FTO as a function of temperature and dopant precursor partial pressure. The choice of dopant precursor (CF/sub 4/, CBrF/sub 3/, and ClF/sub 3/) on F incorporation during CVD of FTO is estimated and compared with experimental results.
