AbstractThis paper presents the results of study on titanium dioxide thin films prepared by atomic layer deposition method on a silicon substrate. The changes of surface morphology have been observed in topographic images performed with the atomic force microscope (AFM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Obtained roughness parameters have been calculated with XEI Park Systems software. Qualitative studies of chemical composition were also performed using the energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). The structure of titanium dioxide was investigated by X-ray crystallography. A variety of crystalline TiO2was also confirmed by using the Raman spectrometer. The optical reflection spectra have been measured with UV-Vis spectrophotometry.

Titanium dioxide thin films have been deposited on silicon wafers substrates by an atomic layer deposition (ALD) method. There optical parameters were investigated by spectroscopic ellipsometry and UV/VIS spectroscopy. A material with a refractive index of 2.41 was obtained. Additionally, in a wide spectral range it was possible to reduce the reflection from the silicon surface below 5%. The Raman spectroscopy method was used for structural characterization of anatase TiO2 thin films. Their uniformity and chemical composition are confirmed by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS).

Plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) of titanium dioxide thin films was conducted using Tetrakis dimethylamino titanium (TDMATi) and an oxygen plasma on a polyethersulfon (PES) substrate at a deposition temperature of 90 °C. The effects of the induced plasma power on passivation properties were investigated according to film thickness. The growth rate of the titanium dioxide film was 0.8 Å/cycle, and the water vapor transmission rate (WTVR) for a 80 nm titanium dioxide film was 0.023 g/m2·day. The passivation performance of the titanium dioxide film was investigated using an organic light-emitting diode (OLED). The coated OLED lifetime was 90 h, 15 times longer than that of an uncoated sample.

This paper presents application examples of atomic layer deposition method (ALD) adopted for production of multifunctional thin films for various usage such as passive, antireflection and transparent conductive films. First part of this paper introduces the mechanism of ALD process, in the rest of it, aluminum oxide (as passive and antireflection) and zinc oxide (as antireflection and transparent conductive) ALD thin films are presented. In the literature one can find reports on the use of the Al2O3 layer as passivating and ZnO layers as a transparent conductive oxide in diodes, polymeric and dye sensitized solar cells. In this article, the ALD layers were tested for their use in silicon solar cells, using their good electrical and optical properties. For examination of prepared thin films characteristics, following research methods were used: scanning electron microscope, atomic force microscope, X-ray diffractometer, ellipsometer, UV/VIS spectrometer and resistance measurements. By depositing a layer thickness of about 80 nm, the short-circuit current on the surface of the solar cell was increased three times while reducing the reflection of light. In turn, by changing the deposition temperature of the ZnO thin film, you can control its electrical properties while maintaining high transparency. The obtained results showed that the ALD method provide the ability to produce a high quality multifunctional thin films with the required properties.
