Project description

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a self-limited film growth technique, where the growing film is alternatingly exposed to pulses of precursos gases. The most important advantages of ALD concern the conformal growth and the excellent control of layer thickness, stoechiometry and uniformity. During this project, we will investigate ALD processes for the growth of diffusion barriers and contacting materials for application in nanoelectronics.
