The Relationship

Single phase BaTi03 thin films were prepared by metal-organic deposition (MOD) using barium 2-ethylhexanoate and titanium dimethoxy dineodecanoate as the metal-organic precursors. A series of experiments was conducted on the metal-organic spin-coated films and their correspondingly annealed samples by employing experimental techniques ranging from thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), x-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), to various optical property characterization methods. A better understanding has been achieved regarding the metal-organic decomposition mechanism, the solid-state BaTi03 film formation and crystallization process, as well as the relationship between the structure and the optical properties of the prepared films. The conclusions of our experiments are as follows: Upon annealing the barium 2-ethylhexanoate spin-coated films, barium carbonate (BaC03) is formed at a relatively low temperature of 300 °C, and at an annealing temperature around 700 °C forms the barium peroxymonocarbonate (BaCO4). Upon annealing the titanium dimethoxy dineodecanoate spin-coated films, anatase is first formed at a low annealing temperature about 400 °C and transforms to rutile phase around an annealing temperature of 800 °C. Upon annealing the spin-coated films from the equimolar mixture of barium 2-ethylhexanoate and titanium dimethoxy dineodecanoate formulations, BaTi03 is formed around an annealing temperature of 600 °C via solid-state reaction between BaCO3 and TiO2 (anatase). The structure of MOD prepared BaTiO3 films has several specific features: instead of the columnar structure in physical vapor deposited (PVD) films, the crystal grains in granular shape are characteristic of MOD films, and the crystallites are much larger near the surface of the film than near the substrates. Optical properties of the prepared BaTi03 films have been reported. Optical characterization shows that the scattering losses contribute dominantly to the total optical losses. The relationship between the structure and the optical properties of the prepared films has also been discussed.

ABSTRACTVia metal organic deposition (MOD) sapphire substrates were multiple dip-coated with a molecular dispersive 8 mol% Y2O3 doped ZrO2 (8YSZ) sol to prepare dense, crack-free thin films. The thin films were consecutively exposed to a tempering program with several rapid thermal annealing (RTA) steps and a final dwell temperature between 500 °C and 1400 °C for 24 h. Grain growth, phase, stoichiometry and macroscopic density of the thin films were analyzed by XRD and SEM. Grain sizes ranged between a few nanometers in diameter at 500 °C and several hundreds of nanometers at 1400 °C.
