Fluorine-doped tin oxide films prepared from highly purified tetramethyl tin (TMT) were compared with films prepared under identical conditions using less pure TMT. No effects due to impurities were found. The use of thermocouples to measure the temperature of glass surfaces is found to be unsatisfactory, and the need is found for an infrared emission thermometer. Effects of impurities from glass substrates are briefly discussed. Conditions for preparing samples are given. (LEW)
