Abstract

In the present work, reactive DC magnetron sputtering method is used to deposit TiO2 thin films on glass substrates. The structural, surface morphology and optical studies of TiO2 thin films were discussed by varying the oxygen flow rates from 1 to 4 sccm. X-ray diffraction patterns of TiO2 thin films show amorphous nature. The surface morphological and elemental composition of TiO2 thin films were examined by field emission scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. From the optical absorption spectra, the shifting of absorption edge towards the longer wavelength leads to the decrement of optical bandgap from 3.48 to 3.19 eV with an increase of oxygen flow rate from 1 to 4 sccm.
