Abstract
Thin films were deposited on Pyrex glass substrates from Ti and TiO2 targets at room temperature by laser evaporation technique. These films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy, and depth profile analysis. The films deposited from Ti target are TiCx and TiOy matrix, while films from TiO2 target are almost stoichiometric in oxygen. The films have a smooth surface morphology under a laser power density of 5 × 106 W/cm2, which is close to the critical intensity for evaporation. The interface reaction of these films is strong, and the Ti atoms diffuse into the substrate.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
