Discussion
The
results
presented
provide
further
insight
on
the
interaction
of
the
most
common
fabrication
variables
that
influence
the
electrical
and
optical
properties
of
ITO
films
for
PV
and
other
opto‐electronic
applications. There is evidence of a strong correlation between oxygen concentration and both the
resistivity and transmittances of RF sputter deposited ITO films. The processing conditions have a
strong
bearing
on
the
structure
of
the
ITO
films.
The

lattice
planes
are
preferred
in
films
grown
in oxygen rich ambient whilst more lattice planes; (211), (222), (400), and (440) are observed in films
grown
under
less
oxygen
or
oxygen
deficient
conditions.
