Titanium dioxide, TiO2 is one of the semiconductor materials that can be produced in many ways, such as magnetron sputtering, CVD, and sol-gel process. This paper studied on the production of TiO2 by sol-gel method using titanium tetra (IV) isopropoxide, TTiP. The solution of TiO2 then deposited as a thin films onto glass substrate by spin-coating method. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of molarity on the morphology, optical and electrical properties of the thin films. The effect on the morphology was observed by AFM. The electrical properties then observed by IV characteristic and finally on the optical properties were investigated by UV-Vis. The transmission obtained from UV-Vis showed that TiO2 thin films are decreased around 18% at higher molarity in a visible region. The bandgap also decrease at high molarity. Higher molarity of TiO2 in current-voltage characteristic gave a value of current density for 1.03×10-4 A/m2 and resistivity 1.95×107 Ωm.

Novel thin films of ultrafine titanium dioxide particles dispersed in a matrix of hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC) polymer have been made on quartz and silicon substrates. The titanium dioxide particles were made by the hydrolysis and condensation of titanium tetraethoxide (TEOT) in solutions of HPC in a mixture of ethanol and water. HPC controlled the particle size by adsorbing at the particle surface during the growth process and generating repulsive steric forces. The TiO2/HPC composite films were transparent in the visible region and completely blocked ultraviolet radiation at 300 nm. These films were crack-free and uniform in composition and thickness. Transparent films of amorphous TiO2 were made by burning out the HPC at 500 °C. These films were highly uniform and had no macroscopic cracks. X-ray diffraction revealed a transition to the anatase form upon sintering at 600 °C. A film sintered at 700 °C had a porosity of 38%. The crystalline films remained transparent until they densified at 800 °C.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin films deposited on quartz substrate by spin-coating method using titanium (IV) butoxide has been studied. The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of annealing in oxygen ambient on the morphology and optical properties of thin films. The distinct variations in the morphology of the thin films were observed from atomic force microscope (AFM) images. The transmission spectra obtained from UV-VIS-NIR showed the TiO2thin films exhibited average transmittance value up to 80% in the visible region. Raman spectra of thin films annealed in O2shifted from 142 cm-1to 179 cm-1.
