摘要
Titanium dioxide thin films have been deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering on glass substrate and subsequently irradiated by UV radiation using a KrF excimer laser. In this work, we have study the influence of the laser fluence (F) ranging between 0.05 and 0.40 mJ/cm(2) on the constitution and microstructure of the deposited films. Irradiated thin films are characterized by profilometry, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. As deposited films are amorphous, while irradiated films present an anatase structure. The crystallinity of the films strongly varies as a function of F with maximum for F = 0. 125 J/cm(2). In addition to the modification of their constitution, the irradiated areas present a strongly modified microstructure with appearance of nanoscale features. The physico-chemical mechanisms of these structural modifications are discussed based on the theory of nucleation. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
