Some characteristics of SnO2 film which was deposited on a slide glass substrate, using dibutyl tin diacetate and oxygen, by the chemical vapor deposition were observed. The optimum condition for the preparation of the film was found to be at 420℃ of substrate temperature for 20 min of deposition. Important optical, electrical, and structural features of the film were examined. It was found that the typical SnO2 film on the untreated substrate was 4000Å in thickness, transmitted 90% of the visible liglit, and provided 5800 ohms/□ of the sheet resistance. It was also found that the surface treatments of the slide glass by acid leaching were beneficial. The film structure was found to be a mixture of polycrystalline tetragonal stannic oxide confirmed by the X-ray diffraction and to be spherical fine grains concluded by the scanning electron microscopy.
