Rational development of precursors for MOCVD of TiO\(_{2}\)

  • The design, synthesis and characterization of several MOCVD precursors for TiO\(_{2}\) have been carried out. Variations in the ligand sphere on the side chain of the well known \(\beta\)-keto systems have been carried out. \(\beta\)-ketoesters, \(\beta\)-ketoamides and malonates and aminoalkoxides have been used as ligands for synthesizing the mixed alkoxide complexes of titanium. Thin films of TiO\(_{2}\) were deposited at temperatures from 350 °C to 800 °C using homebuilt reactor as well as industrial scale reactor. The use of matrix isolation (MI) coupled with FTIR as a tool for studying the fragmentation of the MOCVD precursor is demonstrated. To investigate the molecular mechanism involved in the decomposition of precursor a MI apparatus was designed and fabricated. Titanium tetraisoporpoxide, [Ti(OPr\(^{i}\))\(_{2}\)(thd)\(_{2}\)] are the standard precursors used for the deposition of TiO\(_{2}\) thin films and newly developed precursor [Ti(OPr\(^{i}\))\(_{2}\)(tbaoac)\(_{2}\)] were the three systems investigated for thermal decomposition using MI-IR techniques.
