TiO2-rich Ba–Ti–O films were prepared on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate by laser chemical vapor deposition (LCVD). Their phase relationship and microstructure were investigated. The single-phase BaTi2O5, Ba4Ti13O30 and BaTi5O11 films were prepared at Ti/Ba molar ratios mTi/Ba = 1.84–1.90, 2.83 and 4.49–4.55, respectively. The high deposition rate of TiO2-rich Ba–Ti–O films ranged from 54.0 µm/h to 177.6 µm/h. The permittivity of BaTi2O5 film (prepared at mTi/Ba = 1.84 and deposition temperature Tdep = 877 K), Ba4Ti13O30 film (prepared at mTi/Ba = 2.83 and Tdep = 914 K) and BaTi5O11 film (prepared at mTi/Ba = 4.49 and Tdep = 955 K) were 50, 40 and 21, respectively.

TiO2 thin films were prepared on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate by laser chemical vapor deposition (LCVD) method. The effects of laser power (PL) and total pressure (ptot) on the microstructure of TiO2 thin films were investigated. The deposition temperature (Tdep) was mainly affected by PL, increasing with PL increasing. The single-phase rutile TiO2 thin films with different morphologies were obtained. The morphologies of TiO2 thin films were classified into three typical types, including the powdery, Wulff-shaped and granular microstructures. ptot and Tdep were the two critical factors that could be effectively used for controlling the morphology of the films.
