Abstract
In this paper, thin films of TiO2 were deposited onto (100) oriented silicon and glass substrates using low pressure hot target reactive magnetron sputtering (LP HTRS) method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and optical transmission measurements have been applied to study the influence of substrate type on the microstructure and optical properties of the prepared thin films, respectively. Thin films exhibit the TiO2-anatase crystalline state, which could be confirmed by the appearance of peaks of (101) orientation.
