摘要
Anew sol-gel route has been applied to synthetize dense Al(2)O(3)thin films from aluminum isopropoxide (Al(OPri)(3))as raw precursor material. The results show that, in the solution, acetylacetone (AcAc) and aluminum form a complex compound which effectively suppresses the growth of colloidal particles and makes the sol very stable. Al(2)O(3)thin films fabricated by spin-coating method and calcined at 500 degrees C for 3 h possess an amorphous structure and exhibit a highly homogeneous surface texture without evidence of holes or cracks throughout the film. Moreover, the prepared films display a low leakage current and a high transmittance. This new sol-gel route appears to be a highly promising method to synthetize dense Al2O3 thin films from Al(OPri)(3), and could provide a wide range of optical and electric applications.
