Atomic layer deposition process with TiF4 as a precursor for depositing metal fluoride thin films.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel atomic layer deposition process for the preparation of fluoride thin films in a temperature range of 225 degrees C-400 degrees C is introduced. The crystallinity, morphology, composition, thicknesses, refractive indices, and transmittance of the films are analyzed. Low impurity levels are obtained at 350 degrees C-400 degrees C with good stoichiometry. Refractive indices of 1.34-1.42 for MgF(2), 1.43 for CaF(2), and 1.57-1.61 for LaF(3) films are obtained.

Study of a novel ALD process for depositing MgF2 thin films
Magnesium fluoride is an ultraviolet (UV) transparent material which is widely used in optical applications over a wide wavelength range. We have developed a novel atomic layer deposition (ALD) process for depositing magnesium fluoride thin films for the first time. MgF2 films were grown at 250–400 uC using Mg(thd)2 and TiF4 as precursors. The crystallinity, morphology, composition, thicknesses...
متن کاملFilm growth model of atomic layer deposition for multicomponent thin films
Atomic layer deposition sALDd has become an essential technique for fabricating nano-scale thin films in the microelectronics industry, and its applications have been extended to multicomponent thin films, as well as to single metal oxide and nitride films. A mathematical film growth model for ALD is proposed to predict the deposition characteristics of multicomponent thin films grown mainly in...
متن کاملAtomic Layer Deposition of Ultrathin Copper Metal Films from a Liquid Copper(I) Amidinate Precursor
We report a method for producing thin, completely continuous and highly conductive copper films conformally inside very narrow holes with aspect ratios over 35:1 by atomic layer deposition ALD . Pure copper thin films were grown from a novel copper I amidinate precursor, copper I N,N -di-sec-butylacetamidinate, and molecular hydrogen gas as the reducing agent. This copper precursor is a liquid ...
متن کاملAtomic layer deposition of transition metals.
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a process for depositing highly uniform and conformal thin films by alternating exposures of a surface to vapours of two chemical reactants. ALD processes have been successfully demonstrated for many metal compounds, but for only very few pure metals. Here we demonstrate processes for the ALD of transition metals including copper, cobalt, iron and nickel. Homole...
متن کاملSilver Ink Formulations for Sinter-free Printing of Conductive Films
Inkjet printing offers an attractive method for the deposition of metal interconnects in electronic systems and enables a low-cost, environmentally friendly route to manufacture. However, virtually all current metal inkjet processes require post-deposition sintering treatments to achieve the optimum electrical conductivity, because the growth mechanism involves coalescence of discrete nanoparti...
