Epitaxy of TiO sub 2 thin film on sapphire by MOCVD

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7009584
Epitaxial TiO{sub 2} films have been successfully grown on sapphire substrate at temperatures from 400 to 800{degree}C by thermally decomposing titanium isopropoxide in the presence of O{sub 2} in a cold wall low pressure MOCVD system. Rutile film was grown on sapphire (11{bar 2}0) at 800{degree}C with (101) being the growth plane and {l angle}1{bar 1}0{r angle} being parallel to sapphire {l angle}0001{r angle}. Anatase film was grown on sapphire (0001) at 400{degree}C with (112) being the growth plane and {l angle}1{bar 1}0{r angle} being parallel to sapphire {l angle}{bar 1}100{r angle}. The film structure as a function of substrate surface orientation and growth temperature is discussed in detail. 7 refs., 5 figs.
