Abstract

Radio Frequency (RF) sputtered Ti films on glass were heat treated using tube furnace at temperatures from 300 – 600 oC. XRD measurements of the parent Ti films showed improvement in crystallinity and exhibited sharp peaks at 34.9(010), 38.2(002) and 40.05(011). The heat treated Ti films were anodized at 57.8V using 0.3% N₄HF in ethylene glycol as electrolyte. Raman spectra from the anodized films showed distinct TiO₂ peaks. Anatase phase was observed after anodization of heat treated Ti films at 300 and 400 oC while rutile phase exhibited dominance in films heat treated at 500 and 600 oC. Comparison in Raman peaks showed that heat treated films have improved crystal structure compared to films that did not undergo heat treatment.
