Abstract
(Received 23 April 2014 ; in final form 10 August 2015) Abstract The effects of oxygen flow rate on refractive index of aluminum oxide film have been investigated. The Al2O3 films are deposited by electron beam on glass substrate at different oxygen flow rates. The substrate was heated to reach C 250 and the temperature was constant during the thin film growth. The transmittance spectrum of samples was recorded in the wavelength 400-800 nm. Then, using the maxima and minima of transmittance the refractive index and the extinction coefficient of samples were determined. It has been found that if we reduce the oxygen flow, while the evaporation rate is kept constant, the refractive index of Al2O3 films increases. On the other hand, reduced oxygen pressure causes the Al2O3 films to have some absorption.
