Abstract

Tin oxide (SnO2) films have been grown on r-cut sapphire substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The substrate temperature dependent structural and electrical properties of SnO2 films were investigated. It was found that the films deposited at lower temperatures were polycrystalline while the highly oriented growth occurred above 600 °C. Especially, high-quality SnO2 film with no (101) twin structure was obtained at 700 °C. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the surface morphology was significantly affected by the substrate temperature. A tile-like surface was observed for the film grown at 700 °C. The change in electrical properties for the SnO2 films was associated with the various structures at different substrate temperatures.
