Structure of Hydrogen Gas Sensing TiO₂Thin Films Prepared by Sol-Gel Method and their Comparison with Magnetron Sputtered Films

Abstract:

TiO₂thin films with a thickness of about 150 nm were deposited by spin coating method on sapphire substrate from a sol-gel system. The hydrogen sensing properties of TiO₂ films annealed at various temperatures were studied and correlated with their structure, optical and electrical properties. The annealing temperatures in the range of 600 800 °C lead to anatase films with a roughness in the range of 0.6 0.9 nm. Their sensitivity towards hydrogen is low. The thin films annealed at temperatures in the range 900 1000 °C consist of rutile phase and their roughness increased to 11.7 13.5 nm. They showed good hydrogen sensitivity with optimal operating temperature 200 250 °C. The structure and sensing properties of the prepared films are compared with those synthesized with magnetron sputtering. The maximum of sensitivity was measured on the thin films with diameter of the grains about 100 nm in both cases, i.e. on thin films prepared by sol-gel method as well as on thin films prepared by magnetron sputtering. The maximum sensitivity correlates with the diameter of the grains and dont depend on the allotropy of the titanium dioxide anatase or rutile.
