Phenomena and solving methods for damage of Sb-doped SbO2 thin films deposited by RF magnetron sputtering have been investigated by observing in the main the positional difference of film electrical resistivity. A ring plate mask was used to disperse the energetic particles and sputtering parameters were controlled such a manner that effects by the parameters were compensated each other. By the control, positional differences in resistivity and XRD patterns of the films could be reduced to a minimum value; The films became nearly uniform ones.
