SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the issues encountered during spin coating TiCl4 films mixed with ethanol, specifically the formation of cracks. Participants inquire about the substrate material and processing temperature, which are critical factors influencing film integrity. The conversation highlights the importance of addressing these variables to mitigate defects in the coating process.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of spin coating techniques
  • Knowledge of TiCl4 and its properties
  • Familiarity with substrate materials used in thin film applications
  • Awareness of temperature effects on film formation
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the impact of substrate material on TiCl4 film quality
  • Explore optimal temperature ranges for spin coating TiCl4
  • Investigate techniques to prevent cracking in thin films
  • Learn about the role of solvents like ethanol in spin coating processes
USEFUL FOR

Researchers and engineers involved in materials science, particularly those focused on thin film deposition and spin coating techniques.

Hi everyone!
I'm doing some research on spin coating, my precursor is TiCl4 and I mix it with ethanol, but I have cracks on my films, can anyone help me?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Is it a Ti-based substrate which you are coating? What is the temperature of the process?

I see that the OP has been asked in the Chemistry forum with some elaboration. So let us address this problem there.

Please do not use multiple posts. Thank you.
