Structure of TiO{sub 2}/SiO{sub 2} multilayer films
- Hitachi Ltd., Ibaraki (Japan). Hitachi Research Lab.
Sputtered TiO{sub 2}/SiO{sub 2} multilayer films were studied by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), and their bonding structure and crystallization were compared with TiO{sub 2}-SiO{sub 2} composite films. The thickness ratio TiO{sub 2}/SiO{sub 2} of the multilayer films was fixed at 1:3, and the TiO{sub 2} monolayer thickness dt was varied from 0.3 to 60 nm. With decreasing dt, crystallization of TiO{sub 2} was lost, and the IR absorption at 930 cm{sup {minus}1} increased. These results suggest that SiO{sub 2} and TiO{sub 2} were changing their structure to a Ti{sub x}Si{sub y}O{sub z} composite state with decreasing dt. In the intermediate between anatase crystal and noncrystal, TiO{sub 2} of the multilayer films showed a different orientation from that of the composite films.
