Abstract:Titanium oxide (TiO2) thin films were deposited onto glass substrates by means of spray pyrolysis method using methanolic titanyl acetyl acetonate as precursor solution. The thin films were deposited at three different temperatures namely 350, 400 and 450 °C. As-deposited thin films were amorphous having 100–300 nm thickness. The thin films were subsequently annealed at 500 °C in air for 2 h. Structural, optical and electrical properties of TiO2 thin films have been studied. Polycrystalline thin films with rutile crystal structure, as evidenced from X-ray diffraction pattern, were obtained with major reflexion along (1 1 0). Surface morphology and growth stages based on atomic force microscopy measurements are discussed. Electrical properties have been studied by means of electrical resistivity and thermoelectric power measurements. Optical study shows that TiO2 possesses direct optical transition with band gap of 3.4 eV.
Keywords:Titanium oxide  Thin films  Spray pyrolysis  AFM  Optical property
