Abstract
Aerosol assisted chemical vapour deposition (AACVD) is used to deposit tungsten oxide thin films from tungsten hexacarbonyl (W(CO)6) at 339 to 358 °C on quartz substrate. The morphologies of as-deposited thin films, which are comprised of two phases (W25O73 and W17O47), vary from planar to nanorod (NR) structures as the distance from the inlet towards the outlet of the reactor is traversed. This is related to variation of the actual temperature on the substrate surface (ΔT = 19 °C), which result in a change in growth mode due to competition between growth rate (perpendicular to substrate) and nucleation rate (parallel to substrate). When the ratio of perpendicular growth rate to growth rate contributed by nucleation is higher than 7.1, the as-deposited tungsten oxide thin film forms as NR. (© 2015 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
