Modeling Titanium Oxide Growth by Chemical Vapor Deposition Using Titanium Tetra Isopropoxide
Titanium oxide (TiO2) thin films were grown oil Si(100) substrates using the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of titanium tetra isopropoxide (TTIP; Ti(OCH(CH3)(2))(4)). The distribution of the growth rate in the reactor and the step coverage of films grown in the range 593-1173 K could was using our "simple reaction model." The TTIP changed into TiO2 directly via a surface reaction. The surface reaction rate constant was determined by comparing the step coverage or grown and simulated films. The activation energy of the surface reaction was 212 kJ/mol (T < 710) K).
