Abstract
We report on the control of carrier density in r-SnO2 thin films grown on isostructural r-TiO2 substrates by doping with Sb aiming for power-electronics applications. The carrier density was tuned within a range of 3 × 1016–2 × 1019 cm−3. Two types of donors with different activation energies, attributed to Sb at Sn sites and oxygen vacancies, are present in the thin films. Both activation energies decrease as the concentration of Sb increases. A vertical Schottky barrier diode employing a Sb:r-SnO2/Nb:r-TiO2 exhibits a clear rectifying property with a rectification ratio of 103 at ±1 V.
