Abstract
The crystallization of amorphous Sb-Sn-O thin films by heat treatment has been investigated. It is found that heat treatment at temperatures higher than 400 degrees C causes the transparent amorphous films to d arken and their resistivity to drop by several orders of magnitude. Ir radiation of the films with a carbon dioxide laser beam gives rise to local crystallization and selective area darkening.
