The molybdenum trioxide MoO3 thin films were growth on
c-Si substrates by magnetron sputtering technique. The structural and
morphological properties of MoO3 thin films were investigated by XRD, RAMAN and SEM
analysis. Prior to annealing process, X-ray diffractogram indicated that MoO3 thin films vere
amorphous nature. All of the MoO3 thin films were applied three different annealing
temperature and obtained optimum annealing temperature with 300 0C. XRD patterns of annealed thin films showed that these MoO3
thin films have polycrystalline nature with 2θ
peak at 12˚,23˚, 25˚, 38˚, 55˚and 58˚ corresponding to the (020), (110), (040), (060), (112) and (081) planes. RAMAN spectrum of the MoO3 thin films were
determined 14 Raman active peaks belong to α-phase MoO3. The surface morphology of the MoO3 thin films as
deposited has appeared to be uniform with smaller grains and exhibits a coarse
structure. Annealing of the MoO3 thin films favors growth and
agglomeration of small grains.
