SnO2 films have been grown on a-cut (11math0) sapphire substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were employed to characterize the epitaxial relationship and film structure. The films were (101) oriented with pure rutile structure. The in-plane relationship was determined to be SnO2 [010]//Al2O3 [0001] and SnO2 [10math]//Al2O3 [1math00]. There are three kinds of {101} twins in the SnO2 film. These twins caused high density of planar defects in the film and slight misorientation of the growth plane. The film/substrate interface was flat, while the film surface was rough with steps and inclinations.
