Popis: | The influence of the reactive gas mixture and substrate temperature on the chemical composition of reactively rf magnetron sputtered TiO2 thin layers on Si substrates has been studied. A detailed investigation has been made of the transition layer between Si and TiO2. The composition of the films and the interface with the substrate were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was shown that in the range of O2 contents (0.3–50%) and the substrate temperature used (room temperature-300°C), the layers always consisted of TiO2 and no evidence of Ti suboxides or non oxidized Ti was found. The composition of the TiO2-Si interface region was found to depend on the deposition parameters. A SiO2 intermediate layer between Si and TiO2 was found to exist in all cases and its thickness to increase when increasing the O2 contents and the substrate temperature. |
