Tantalum oxide (TaO) thin films were deposited by dc reactive magnetron sputtering at room temperature. A target of tantalum (99.995%) and a mixture of argon and oxygen gases were used to deposit TaO films on to silicon wafers (100) and BK7 glass substrate. The effects of annealing temperature (300–700 °C) on structural, morphology and anti-bacterial properties were investigated. Grazing incident X-ray diffraction (GIXRD), atomic force microscope (AFM) measurements are carried out to identify the crystalline structure, film morphology and surface roughness, respectively. The antibacterial behavior of the tantalum oxide thin films will be discussed in this paper.

W-doped Vanadium oxide thin films were prepared on the substrates of glass and Si (100) by reactive magnetron sputtering after annealing in vacuum. The structure and morphology were characterized by X-ray diffractometer and atomic force microscopy(AFM), respectively. The results show that,when the oxygen volume percent (Po2) increasing from 15% to 25%, the films on the Si(100) were vanadium oxides with high-valences. After vacuum annealing at 500°C for 2h, the major phase of W doped films on glass is VO2. The surface roughness of the film increase for the longer time annealing.
