Surface morphology studies of titanium dioxide thin film for solar cell application

This paper presents the research on surface morphology studies of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) for solar cell application by using sol-gel method prepared by spin coating technique. The TiC₂ solutions have been prepared by sol-gel method. TiC₂ thin films have been deposited on silicon and glass substrates by spin coating technique. The surface morphology and electrical properties were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and current-voltage (I-V) measurement, respectively. It was found that concentration of glacial acetic acid and various annealing temperature will affects on the surface morphology and resistivity of the films.
