Notes:
Titania/organically modified silane hybrid thin films for photonic applications wereprepared by combining a low temperature sol-gel technique and a spin-coating process from anorganic-inorganic hybrid system. Effects of the titanium content and heat treatment temperature onthe structural and optical properties of the hybrid thin films were characterized by atomic forcemicroscopy and UV-visible spectroscopy. It is found that the optical and microstructural propertiesof the hybrid thin films depend on the heat-treatment temperature and titanium molar contents. Thethickness and the refractive index of the hybrid thin films were also measured and found to berelated to the heat treatment temperature and titanium molar content. These results indicate that adense and high transparent hybrid thin film can be obtained at a low heat treatment temperature.Potential photonic device structural patterns can easily fabricated from the as-prepared hybrid thinfilms by using etching process
