ABSTRACT Poly-crystalline anatase TiO 2 layer fabricated by LPCVD using titanium-tetra-iso-propoxide and NbF 5 in H 2 -ambient was treated in conc.-HCl solution after thin layer of IIIb-group metal was deposited on the TiO 2 layer. Resistivity of the as-deposited layer about 1 × 10 -1 Ω·cm was drastically reduced to 3 × 10 -3 Ω·cm by the wet-treatment using indium. Temperature dependence of the resistivity increased with temperature above 100 K for the wet-treated layer was quite different from that decreased above 100 K for the as-deposited layer, whereas the resistivity was saturated at lower temperatures. The resistivity at room-temperature was decreased with th...
