Ion‐beam sputter‐deposition (IBSD) was used to reactively deposit tin oxide crystalline films at oxygen fluxes of 3–15 sccm and at substrate temperatures of 100–600 °C. Analysing the samples by X‐ray diffraction and Raman spectro‐ scopy yields a map of the crystalline structures in dependence on the growth parameters. In addition to SnO 2 , pure SnO films of high quality and an intermediate phase such as Sn 2 O 3 or Sn 3 O 4 can be reproducibly obtained. Thus, IBSD is, to our knowledge, the only thin‐film deposition technique verified yet to reliably produce samples in the entire composition range of tin oxides. (© 2015 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH &Co.
