Effect of Aluminium and TIN Oxide Doping on the Structural and Optical Properties of Pulsed Laser Deposited Nanocrystalline Tantalum Oxide Thin Films
Journal Title: International Journal of Applied and Natural Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Nanocrystalline SnO2 and Al2O3 doped Ta2O5 thin films have been deposited on quartz substrates using reactive pulsed laser deposition. GIXRD studies indicate a phase transition from hexagonal δ- TaO to orthorhombic β-Ta2O5 for SnO2 doped films around a substrate temperature of 773 K whereas the crystallization in the hexagonal δ- TaO phase for the Al2O3 doped films is found to be around 973 K. The preferred orientation is found to be sensitive to a substrate temperature for the SnO2 doped films and is found to change from (0 0 1) to (110) crystal plane of the film deposited at a substrate temperature of 973 K. Micro Raman analysis of SnO2 and Al2O3 doped films show a hardening and disappearance of certain modes which indicates a structural phase transition as confirmed from the GIXRD studies. Al2O3 doping gives rise to an additional mode around 150 cm-1 corresponding to O-Ta-O is bending vibrations in TaO6 octahedra, which is found to be absent in SnO2 doped films. The transmittance of Ta2O5 films deposited at 300 K is found to decrease up on SnO2 doping and increase up on Al2O3 doping compared with the undoped film and decreases with the increase in substrate temperature for both dopants.
