Abstract
We have considered the influence of electron irradiation on the optical and electrical properties of $SnO_2$ thin films deposited with reactive RF magnetron sputtering. After deposition, the films electron irradiated at 300 eV shows a lower sheet resistance of $277{\Omega}/{\square}$ and the optical transmittance in a visible wave length region also influenced with the electron irradiation energy. The film that electron irradiated at 400 eV shows a higher optical transmittance of 82.6% in this study. By comparison of figure of merit, it is concluded that the post-deposition electron irradiation at 300 eV is the optimum condition for the enhancement of opto-electrcal performance of $SnO_2$ thin film in this study.
