Indium tin oxide (ITO) film has been prepared by sequential vacuum deposition of indium and tin on plain glass followed by oxidation at temperatures around 400 degrees - 650 degrees Celsius. By a proper control of the time of evaporation and the heating current the concentration of vacuum evaporated indium was maintained constant and tin concentration was varied in the range of 10 - 60% by weight. ITO films with good optical and electrical properties can be obtained by adjusting the ratio of Sn:In in the range of 1:9 to 1:35 after heat- treatment at 400 degrees to 600 degrees Celsius. The films exhibit a sheet resistance of 20 ohms per square with an optical transmission of 60% at 500 nm when the Sn:In ratio was maintained at 1:9. The film was found suitable for ITO/Si solar cells and as substrates for photo anodes in PEC cells.
