Three-dimensional TiO2 nanotube arrays for photo-device applicationWe can controlled the hole size by change the temperature, applied voltage and concentration of electrolyte.The nanotubes were 450nm length and the hole size was 34nm.Nanotubes SizeSeveral recent studies have indicated TiO2 nanotubes have improved properties compared to any other form of TiO2 for application in photocatalysis, sensing, photoelectrolysis and photovoltaics. TiO2 nanotubes, and nanotube arrays, have been produced by a variety of methods including deposition into a nanoporous alumina template.TiO2 nanotubes on Si will get more interest because this heterojunction is photovoltaics device and have a good responsivity for UV/Visible. TiO2 nanotubes from anodization thin film considered inexpensive way to get nanotubes.

IntroductionThe electron beam deposition is suitable to get a nanotubes by anodization. The self-organized porous TiO2 layers have various potential applications. TiO2 shows self-cleaning properties a controllable wettability, and a high degree of biocompatibility in biomedical applications, for instance as a dental or hip implant. It can be used for controlled catalysis of organic reactions or for sensing. Owing to its high refractive index (about 60% higher than porous alumina), the self-organized porous TiO2 structures may be suitable for the construction of photonic crystals or waveguides.Features and ApplicationsAhmed Al-Haddad1,2,3, Yaoguo Fang1,2, Huaping Zhao1,2, Yong Lei1,2

Cleaning and etching p-Silicon substrate.Deposited a thin film of Titanium (450nm) on Si Substrate by electron beam. Annealed the samples at 500C for 1h.Anodized thin film at 20 volt using the electrolyte containing 0.38wt% NH4F, 1.79wt% H2O and 97.83wt% ethylene glycol.Improve the surface by using 0.05 % HF for 30s.Materials and Methods
