Abstract

The effects of electron beam radiation on electrical and optical properties of undoped (SnO2) and aluminum doped tin oxide (SnO2:Al) films are investigated. Single and multi-layered films were grown using hydro-alcoholic solution and spin coating technique under optimum deposition conditions. Exposure to electron beam radiation causes increase in the sheet resistance of both SnO2 and SnO2:Al films. A blue shift in the absorption edge in the case of SnO2 films and red shift in the case of aluminium doped SnO2 films were observed after e-beam irradiation. The extent of deviation in the electrical properties varies with doping concentrations.
