Influence of Quenching on the Opto-Electronic Properties of F:SnO Layers.

For many opto-electronic applications, F:SnO materials must benefit from high transparency, high conductivity, and high mechanical strength even after quenching. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of quenching on the opto-electronic properties of the F:SnO layers synthesized at high temperature on Si C O-coated soda-lime glass by atmospheric chemical vapor deposition. The morphology, structure, and composition of the layers were studied before and after quenching in air- and oxygen-rich atmospheres at 670 °C.
