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.

Ni-doped ZnO thin films were prepared on glass slide substrates by a sol-gel dip coating method with different Ni doping concentrations (0-33 mol%). The effect of Ni doping concentration on structural, surface morphology and optical properties of the thin films was characterized by XRD, FESEM and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The XRD results indicated that pure ZnO thin film exhibited a hexagonal wurtzite structure. Ni (OH)2 phase were observed at a high Ni doping concentration. The FESEM images showed that the surface morphology and surface roughness were sensitive to the Ni doping concentration. The optical transmission measurements were observed that the transmittance decreased with increasing the Ni doping concentration.
