Synthesis conditions and electric properties of Lu2Ti2O7 thin films prepared by the sol–gel technique
fabrication and properties of Lu2Ti2O7 thin films were explored. Depending upon solgel fabrication technique
the influence of the spinning parameters
such as annealing temperature
holding time
rotating speed and the number of coating layers on the microstructure including surface roughness was investigated systematically. Then the electrical properties of the Lu2Ti2O7 films deposited on Si substrates were researched to optimize the parameters for the growth of Lu2Ti2O7 films. The investigation reveals that the annealing temperature no less than 750 ℃ is necessary to obtain an optimal thin film containing less amount of Lu2TiO5
which is formed at temperature arranging from 650 ℃ to 1 050 ℃. Meanwhile
the studies also indicate that the calcination temperature shows a great influence on the surface roughness. Further analysis on electric properties suggests that the holding time is benefit to both the low temperature phase transition of Lu2Ti2O7 and the formation of Lu2TiO5 phase
but it has little effect on the electrical properties of the film. With Lu(NO3)3 and TiO2 as precursors
high densified Lu2Ti2O7 film containing less amounts of Lu2TiO5 phase can be prepared successfully via solgel route
and the less amounts of Lu2TiO5 phase can be eliminated by increasing the calcination temperature
prolonging the holding time or adjusting the ratio of Lu(NO3)3 to TiO.
