Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of titanium oxide films has been performed for the first time under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions. The films were deposited through the pyrolysis reaction of titanium isopropoxide, Ti(OPri)4, and in situ characterized by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). A small amount of C incorporation was observed during the initial stages of deposition, through the interaction of precursor molecules with the bare Si substrate. Subsequent deposition produces pure and stoichiometric TiO2 films. Si–O bond formation was detected in the film-substrate interface. Deposition rate was found to increase with the substrate temperature. Ultra-high vacuum chemical vapor deposition (UHV-CVD) is especially useful to study the initial stages of the CVD processes, to prepare ultra-thin films, and to investigate the composition of deposited films without the interference from ambient impurities.

Ultra-thin superhydrophilic titanium oxide films were fabricated on silicon microchannels by an in situ reaction sol-gel method using titanium tetraisopropoxide as a starting material.. By changing the concentration of water in ethanol and reaction time, the thickness of synthesized TiO2 films can be controlled from around 10 nm to 80 nm. The contact angle of as-synthesized TiO2 films on flat silicon is around 20° and can be further decreased to zero by calcination at 700 °C in nitrogen atmosphere. X-ray diffraction spectra show the microstructure of the TiO2 films changed gradually from amorphous to anatase with the increase of calcination temperature. Surface morphology of the film before and after calcination also shows that a smoother coating with crystal structure was obtained by heat treatment. The flow velocity in the TiO2 coated channel reached around 0.03 m/s, almost ten times of that in PDDA/PSS coated channel and 4 times of that in SiO2 coated one. The ultra-thin superhydrophilic TiO2 films fabricated by this method show the ability to strongly increase the wettability of microchannels without affecting the morphology of the sidewall of the channels, indicating potential applications to biomolecule analysis and surface tension driven microfluidic systems.

This work reports a new technique called “Suspension Impregnation Method” (SiM) as an alternative to the “Incipient Impregnation Method” (IiM) for the synthesis of noble metal (Au) nanoparticles. The SiM was used to synthesize gold nanoparticles supported by titanium oxide and compared with those of IiM. The reactor for the SiM technique was based on the principles of mixing, heat, and mass transfer of the suspension reactors and the metal particle synthesis was processed in situ under the oxidation reduction potentials. Three different conditions were established to observe the effect of pH on the size of the metal particles: acid (HCl), neutral (water) and alkaline (urea). The samples were characterized by nitrogen adsorption, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)/Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and CO2 adsorption. The surface area was slightly modified, and the average pore diameter was reduced in all materials. The structure of the titanium oxide was not altered. A deposit of organic material was detected in samples synthesized in alkaline medium for both methods. The pH influenced the formation of conglomerates in IiM and resulted in large particle sizes (3–9 nm). In contrast, an in situ reduction in the species in SiM resulted in smaller particle sizes than IiM (2–3 nm).
