Electrical and Physical Property of TiO2 Films Prepared at Different Deposition Time

Abstract:

Article Preview

Titanium Dioxide film will be deposited on a glass slide substrate by spin coating technique which is the frequently used technique because of its easy operation and cheap due to the sol gel preparation. The deposited films were then characterized by cross section technique using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) to investigate the thickness based on the number of coatings. Then by the same FESEM, the surface morphology was studied to see the grain size and the porosity of each film based on the number of coatings. AFM was used to see the uniformity of the thin film's surface. Then by using current voltage (IV) measurement, the electrical property of the film can be studied, from IV characterization the resistivity of the film will be calculated. In this investigation, it is found that by increasing the coating layer, the resistivity values were decreasing whereas the conductivity of the film is increasing since conductivity is the inverse of resistivity. The porosity of the film also increases with the coating layers.
