In this work, TiO2 films produced by rf sputtering of a TiO2 target, in argon and argon-oxygen plasmas were studied. The oxygen content in the feed gas was varied in a range of 3% – 20%. The chemical composition and structure of films were characterized by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction. Important information about the intrinsic defects of the films and their effects on the optical properties as well as a scheme of the energy band structure of the films could be derived from a combined use of optical spectroscopy and XPS.

Abstract
In this work, TiO2 films produced by rf sputtering of a TiO2 target, in argon and argon-oxygen plasmas were studied. The oxygen content in the feed gas was varied in a range of 3% – 20%. The chemical composition and structure of films were characterized by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction. Important information about the intrinsic defects of the films and their effects on the optical properties as well as a scheme of the energy band structure of the films could be derived from a combined use of optical spectroscopy and XPS.File in questo prodotto:
