Abstract

The microstructure and composition of reactively sputtered, molybdenum oxide thin films are found to be especially sensitive to the working gas pressure and flow conditions. The variations in composition and crystallographic texture of nominal Mo 2O 3 films are studied, as formed at low pressure (less than 5 mTorr) and flow (less than 25 cm 3 min −1) conditions, using Auger electron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The structure and composition of the Mo 2O 3 films are categorized as part of a continuous series of molybdenum oxide compounds based on a body centered tetragonal unit cell.
