Abstract :
The conductivity of d.c.-sputtered Sb-doped tin-dioxide films improves with higher substrate substrate temperatures. The conductivity is stable and is not influenced by the substrate material. Heating in open air does not deteriorate the film conductivity. The films are over 90% transparent in the visible spectrum.
