Abstract

Epitaxial TiO2 films have been successfully grown on sapphire substrate at temperatures from 400 to 800°C by thermally decomposing titanium isopropoxide in the presence of O2 in a cold wall low pressure MOCVD system. Rutile film was grown on sapphire (1120) at 800°C with (101) being the growth plane and 〈010〉 being parallel to sapphire 〈0001〉. Anatase film was grown on sapphire (0001) at 400°C with (112) being the growth plane and 〈112〉 being parallel to sapphire 〈1100〉. The film structure as a function of substrate surface orientation and growth temperature is discussed in detail.
