Thin films of cadmium stannate (Cd2SnO4) have been deposited on glass substrates by pulsed Nd:YAG laser at room temperature. The deposited film was crystalline in nature and highly oriented in the (311) direction. Using this method, Cd2SnO4 films with the Hall mobility of 25 cm2 V-1 s-1 and the carrier concentration of 6× 1020 cm-3 corresponding to the conductivity of 2.4× 103 S cm-1 have been prepared without post-deposition thermal annealing. The films exhibited average optical total transmission of 70% in the visible region. The optical band gap was found to be 3.18 eV. [DOI: 10.1380/ejssnt.2007.152]
