摘要

Tin oxide, a distinguished metal oxide suitable for optoelectronic usage, has features that can be easily enhanced through doping. In the current study, films of zinc-doped SnO2 (Zn/Sn = 0.03) were synthesized via the sol-gel screen-printing strategy and subsequently sintered at 450°C for 10 min. X-ray diffraction findings established the polycrystalline characteristics and single-phase tetragonal configuration of the synthesized films. The occurrence of Sn, O, and Zn ions is evidenced by energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. According to UV-Vis analysis, the band gap energy (direct transition) was found to be 3.62 eV. Hall measurement analysis revealed the n-type conductivity of the films, characterized by a resistivity of 1.03 × 10–3 Ω∙cm.
