Preparation and Characterization of $SnO_2$ Thin Film by Atomic Layer Deposition

Thin film of $SnO_2$ was fabricated from plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition technology with bubbler type injector system by using TEMASn (tetrakisethylmethylamino tin) precursor. Mostly crystalline of $SnO_2$ films can be obtained with oxygen plasma and with water at relatively low temperature of $150^{\circ}C$. $SnO_2$ was deposited as an uniform rate of $1.0A^{\circ}$/cycle. In order to obtain uniform film, a seed oxide material was used before TEMASn deposition in ALD process. The process parameters were controlled to obtain dense thin film by atomic deposition methodology. The morphology and characterization of thin film with optimized process condition will be discussed.
