A modified low-pressure chemical vapor deposition reactor was used to create compositional spreads of MO2/SiO2 films (M = Hf, Zr and Sn) using tri(t-butoxy) silanol and anhydrous metal nitrates of hafnium, zirconium and tin at temperatures below 250 °C. The compositional spreads formed by this process were characterized by ellipsometry and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry. A survey of possible reactions involved in the deposition is included.
