Atmospheric pressure plasma (APP) deposition techniques are useful today because of their simplicity and their time and cost savings, particularly for growth of oxide films. Among the oxide materials, titanium dioxide (TiO2) has a wide range of applications in electronics, solar cells, and photocatalysis, which has made it an extremely popular research topic for decades. Here, we provide an overview of non-thermal APP deposition techniques for TiO2 thin film, some historical background, and some very recent findings and developments. First, we define non-thermal plasma, and then we describe the advantages of APP deposition. In addition, we explain the importance of TiO2 and then describe briefly the three deposition techniques used to date. We also compare the structural, electronic, and optical properties of TiO2 films deposited by different APP methods. Lastly, we examine the status of current research related to the effects of such deposition parameters as plasma power, feed gas, bias voltage, gas flow rate, and substrate temperature on the deposition rate, crystal phase, and other film properties. The examples given cover the most common APP deposition techniques for TiO2 growth to understand their advantages for specific applications. In addition, we discuss the important challenges that APP deposition is facing in this rapidly growing field.

Surface coating by atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) polymerization was employed to achieve soil guard protection of textiles. Hexamethyldisiloxane was chosen as a precursor for depositing silicon oxide layers on the fiber surface. Plain-woven polyester and rayon filament fabrics and a geometrically simple poly (ethylene terephthalate) film were used as substrates, which were treated by the APPJ polymerization and by the commonly used two fluorochemical resins for comparison. The samples subjected to the APPJ polymerization showed superior water repellency as compared to the resin-treated samples. Interestingly, the APPJ polymerization provided oleophobicity to diiodomethane and oleophilicity to hexadecane. The deposition of model particulate soils, carbon black and red clay, on the fabrics and the film was evaluated by the surface reflectance method and by microscope image analysis, respectively. It was found that the APPJ polymerization remarkably prevented soil deposition as compared to the treatment with two fluorochemical resins. Contrary to our expectations, the APPJ polymerization did not significantly affect the removal of the particulate soils from the substrates by aqueous cleaning.

The Ga-doped zinc-oxides (GZO) as the transparency conductive oxide is the good candidate for substituting ITO. The buffer layer SiOx could improve the quality of GZO thin film. The atmospheric pressure plasma multi-jets (APPMJ) system with three jets was designed and applied for SiOx deposition process. The deposition thickness of three jets was 2.5 times higher than that of single jet, and the uniformity was less than 5% for the area 100mm2. GZO thin film with SiOx buffer layer had 3% decreases in resistivity compared to GZO thin film due to the increasing of mobility. The SiOx/glass fabricated APPMJ system will be a good alternative substrate to bare glass for producing high quality GZO film for advanced electro-optic applications.
