After depositing an ultra-thin metallic Tiˆlm by sputtering, we repeated the process of exposing the still active plasma gas for high-rate low-temperature deposition of a metal compoundˆlm, thereby successfully fabricating a thinˆlm of TiO 2 with photocatalytic properties. The TiO 2 thinˆlm produced using the present method exhibited approximately 15 times the deposition rate of DC reactive magnetron sputtering, yielding a crystalline structure using an unheated substrate (approximately 40°C).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
