Abstract

Amorphous tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) and niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5) thin films were grown from both metal and oxide target by reactive pulsed laser deposition. Film structure and composition were studied as a function of substrate temperature and oxygen pressure. Good quality transparent films were obtained for substrate temperatures greater than 140° C, and O2 pressures of 200 mTorr. Lower temperatures and pressures produced opaque films, associated with lower oxides.
