Abstract
To overcome the limit of number of available materials with suitable refractive index for optical thin films, we studied (TiO2)x – (SiO2)1-x composite thin films by rf sputtering. In this research, we fabricuted TiO2 and (TiO2)x – (SiO2)1-x composite target from powder then fabricated thin films by rf sputtering method. Optical properties of thin films – refractive index, optical energy band gap Eg were determined as a function of composition ratio x/(1-x).
