Tin is a soft, silvery-white metal with a low melting point and good electrical conductivity. It is widely used in various electronic applications due to its versatile properties. Tin is a key component in lead-free solders, which are essential for the assembly of electronic devices. These solders provide reliable electrical connections while meeting environmental and health regulations. Tin oxide (SnO2), a transparent conducting oxide (TCO) material, finds extensive applications in optoelectronic devices, such as solar cells and displays. Sputtering techniques have been employed to deposit tin and its compounds, including SnO2, enabling the fabrication of high-quality thin films with desired properties. Tin sulfide (SnS) and tin selenide (SnSe) have also been investigated for their potential in photovoltaic and thermoelectric applications, where they can be deposited as thin films using sputtering methods. The ability to control the composition, thickness, and microstructure of tin and its compounds through sputtering has greatly advanced the development of electronic and optoelectronic devices.
