Popis: An atmospheric pressure plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition process using a microwave plasma torch has been used for titania thin film synthesis. A dynamic deposition mode was set up to cover a square centimeter surface with a nanostructured TiO2 film. The process parameters were studied and optimized to control the coating crystallinity and morphology and limit the formation of powder in the plasma phase. Contrary to static deposition, the substrate movement promotes a film growth by particles agglomeration in the reference conditions, leading to a cauliflower-like morphology. Then, the precursor proportion in the plasma appears to be determinant in the TiO2 film microstructure. For a precursor flow rate beyond 0.2 slpm, the titania nanoparticles formation in the gas phase is promoted and the thin film is growing by particles agglomeration, leading to a columnar cauliflower-like morphology. At a flow rate of 0.2 slpm, the growth by surface reaction is promoted and the TiO2 film is columnar, where each column is an anatase crystal. After the optimization of the substrate holder movement, it was possible to deposit this last microstructure homogeneously on a square centimeter surface.
