Abstract

Indium tin oxide coatings have been deposited on glass substrates with substrate bias as a process parameter along with substrate temperature. It was found that films deposited with substrate heating and/or substrate bias were polycrystalline in nature and predominantly (400) oriented. The results are correlated to microstructural variation due to the process parameters. Films with lowest sheet resistance, 7.6 ohm/sq and electron concentration of $8.1 \times10^{21}\hspace{2mm}cm^{-3}$ have been achieved in case of films deposited at $370^o\hspace{2mm}C$ with a substrate bias of + 18 V
