Effects of annealing on properties of Ta2O5 thin films deposited by ion beam sputtering
films were deposited by Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS) technique and they were annealed in air at the temperatures from 100 ℃ to 600 ℃ with a step of 100 ℃. Then the optical constants after annealing (refractive index
the inhomogeneity of refractive index
extinction coefficient and physical thickness)
stress
crystalline and surface morphology were systematically studied. The experimental results indicate that with the annealing temperature increasing
the refractive indexes of the films decrease in the mass and the inhomogeneity of refractive index and the film thickness increase
by which the extinction coefficient and stress are improved. However
the crystal orientation and surface morphology of the films are no significant change. These results demonstrate that the thermal processing changes the characteristics of films but the thermal processing temperature for Ta
