In this study, antimony-doped tin oxide (ATO) thin films were fabricated by the sol–gel dip coating process on glass substrates. After the deposition process, the films were treated by Argon–plasma (Ar-400 Watt). The effect of argon–plasma treatments on the electrical and optical properties of ATO thin films was then investigated as a function of the plasma treatment time. It was found that Ar–plasma treatment increased the electrical conductivity of ATO films, but it decreased the optical transmission of ATO thin films.
