Abstract

In recent years, much attentions has attracted to the control of metal oxide substrates, due to its broader applications. In this research, copper oxide thin films have been prepared by sputtering and electrochemical deposition methods and their structural and wetting properties have been studied. The prepared samples using sputtering method with same thicknesses were annealed at 100, 200, 300 and 400 °C for one hour in nanoparticle size and distribution by increasing annealing temperature are observed from SEM images analysis shows that by increasing annealing temperature the nanoparticles are formed more monodispersive arrangement, also. Contact angle measurements shows annealing temperature affects on the wettability of the films and by increasing annealing temperature, the hydrophobicity of the films were changed. Optical and structural properties of annealid films also characterized by uv-visible diffusive reflectance spectroscopies and X-ray diffraction method, which the results confirms the formation of copper oxide nanostructures. Keywords: thin film of copper oxide, Sputtering DC, electrochemical deposition, contact angle.
