? 2021 Elsevier B.V.Undoped and cobalt doped tin oxide thin films were successfully synthesized by using the sol-gel spin coating technique and post annealed at 600 °C. XRD analysis reveals that all the prepared tin oxide thin films were polycrystalline in nature and crystallizes with tetragonal rutile structure with average crystallite size ranges from 4.39 nm–11.47 nm. SEM analysis shows that the nano sized particles were uniformly dispersed in the prepared thin films. The elemental composition was found out by using EDAX analysis and found that the tin oxide thin films contain Co, Sn and oxygen. The optical band gap values were calculated using Tauc plot and are ranging from 2.28 eV–3.40 eV. FTIR analysis shows that the prepared thin films contain Sn–O–Sn, Sn–O, H–O–H, C–O and Sn–OH vibrations. Electrical studies reveal that the resistivity of all the films was very low and are ranging from 1.1556 × 10?3 Ω-m - 1.7642 × 10?3 Ω-m.
