Fluorine Doped Tin Oxide Market

Fluorine doped tin oxides are electrically conductive semiconductor materials with relatively low light absorption characteristics. They are prepared using thin film technologies. Fluorine doped tin oxides are extremely flexible intermediate states with both of the aforementioned characteristics. Their conducting properties can be tuned by insulating them from semiconducting to conducting as well as by adjusting their transparency.

Also, fluorine doped tin oxides can be produced as both p-type and n-type conductivities. Hence, these materials offer a broad range of power saving opto-electrical motherboards and other technological applications. Fluorine doped tin oxides have become crucially important in a wide variety of end-use applications owing to increase in demand for conductive and optically-transparent materials.

Some of the major applications of fluorine doped tin oxides include display devices, thin-film solar cells, polymer-inorganic composite solar cells, optoelectronic devices, frost-resistant surfaces, and gas sensors. Fluorine doped tin oxide are thin films, which fit in a distinct class of metal oxide thin films that is the transparent conducing oxide thin films, which are a special part of nanostructured thin film solar cells. Fluorine doped tin oxide offers fabrication of low cost solar cells. As it allows easy transmission of solar radiations directly with no reduction, these cells have enhanced sensitivity in the high-photon-energy portion of the solar spectrum and make thin film solar cells suitable for large scale application with high performance efficiency
