Atomic layer deposition of high-density Pt nanodots on Al2O3 film using (MeCp)Pt(Me)3 and O2 precursors for nonvolatile memory applications

چکیده
Pt nanodots have been grown on Al2O3 film via atomic layer deposition (ALD) using (MeCp)Pt(Me)3 and O2 precursors. Influence of the substrate temperature, pulse time of (MeCp)Pt(Me)3, and deposition cycles on ALD Pt has been studied comprehensively by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Therefore, Pt nanodots with a high density of approximately 2 × 1012 cm-2 have been achieved under optimized conditions: 300°C substrate temperature, 1 s pulse time of (MeCp)Pt(Me)3, and 70 deposition cycles. Further, metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors with Pt nanodots embedded in ALD Al2O3 dielectric have been fabricated and characterized electrically, indicating noticeable electron trapping capacity, efficient programmable and erasable characteristics, and good charge retention.

Stabilizing Single-Atom and Small-Domain Platinum via Combining Organometallic Chemisorption and Atomic Layer Deposition
Oxide-supported single-atom Pt materials are prepared by combining surface organometallic chemisorption with atomic layer deposition (ALD). Here Pt is supported as a discrete monatomic “pincer” complex, stabilized by an atomic layer deposition (ALD) derived oxide overcoat, and then calcined at 400 °C under O2. ALD-derived Al2O3, TiO2, and ZnO overlayers are effective in suppressing Pt sintering...
