Production of Tungsten Oxide Thin Films by Chemical Vapor Deposition

For the production of tungsten oxide thin film, chemical vapor deposition (Chemical Vapor Deposition, CVD) method can also be used. Chemical vapor deposition is a common thin film preparation technique that generates thin films by reacting in the gas phase.

The following is the general process of chemical vapor deposition to prepare tungsten oxide thin films:

  1. Prepare the precursor gas: choose the appropriate precursor gas, such as tungsten oxide precursor compound, such as tungstate or tungsten chloride. These compounds can be decomposed to produce tungsten oxide under appropriate conditions.
  2. Create a reaction chamber environment: vacuumize the film deposition chamber, and then introduce an inert gas, such as nitrogen or argon, to establish an inert atmosphere.
  3. Heating the substrate: The substrate (usually a silicon substrate or other substrate material) is heated to an appropriate temperature to make it a reactive surface.
  4. Supply gas mixture: The precursor gas and inert gas are introduced into the reaction chamber according to a certain ratio. The precursor gas decomposes on the hot substrate, releasing tungsten oxide molecules.
  5. Reaction and deposition: The tungsten oxide molecules decomposed by the precursor gas will undergo a chemical reaction on the surface of the substrate to form a tungsten oxide film and deposit it on the substrate.
  6. Control deposition parameters: In the chemical vapor deposition process, parameters such as gas flow, temperature, pressure and deposition time need to be controlled to adjust the thickness, composition and quality of the film.
  7. Cooling and solidification: After the film deposition is complete, the substrate is cooled to allow the film to solidify. The substrate can then be removed for subsequent processing and testing.

The chemical vapor deposition method can realize the precise control of the tungsten oxide film, and can realize the growth of the film at a lower temperature. This method has a high deposition rate and good uniformity, and is suitable for large-area and complex-shaped substrates. In addition, chemical vapor deposition can also control the chemical composition and properties of thin films by adjusting reaction conditions and precursor gas selection.
