SnO/sub 2/ sol-gel derived films doped with platinum and antimony

Abstract

SnO/sub 2/ sol-gel derived thin films doped simultaneously with platinum and antimony are obtained and reported for the first time. Transparent, crack-free layers, deposited on silicon or porous silicon (PS) substrates were obtained with antimony doping in the range (0-2)% M, while the platinum addition was limited to maximum 1% M.
