The main problem depositing SnO2 is that it needs about 500oC and high oxygen fluxes to get stoichiometric oxide. Otherwise you always get sn2+ and sn4+ mixture. Also think about sncl2 reaction with the ITO substrate, dissolution, sn diffusion into in2o3 could occur...
Thank you all for the responses. Well I don't have the leisure of using other facilities. I myself have designed a spray pyrolysis system. The solvent which i would use is methanol or ethanol (Prefer ethanol coz of its less toxic effects). I have to study the impedance properties. I am concentrating on thickness right now. But would like to get a even film. I am designing a hot plate. But using a normal heating element I am not getting a temperature above 360C. Will it suffice?
try to use glass wool to insulate all the heating surface except the part where you subtrate is, tempereture will increase up to 500oC. SnO2 usually requires that temp to be stoichiomeyric and crystalline
For the deposition of tin oxide, you may try with SnCl4 5 H20 which is readily soluble water.
As for as heater is concerned, you may try with a thicker spiral coil (used in kitchen) with alternative base. This U can reach even upto 550 degree C in closed environment.
If use spray pyrolysis, to get a good adhesive film on Ito substrate take care for the cleaning procedure , use SnCl2. 5H2O dissolve in same quantity of methanol and deionised water substrate kept at 400 oc during deposition to obtain homogeneous films
