Journal of Materials Science Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The present state of the art of transparent, electrically conducting films, with special reference to In2O3, SnO2 and Cd2SnO4, has been reviewed. Various production techniques currently in use, and typical parameters used in the processes have been discussed in detail. Electrical and optical properties of these films have been reported as a function of various parameters, e.g. substrate temperature, doping, oxygen pressure, etc. Finally, the applications of these films in research and industry have been discussed in detail.
