ALD2

Cambridge NanoTech Plasma ALD - Metal

Cambridge NanoTech Plasma ALD - Oxide

The Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) tool is used to deposit atomic layers of material. The majority of ALD reactions use two chemicals, typically called precursors. These precursors react with the surface of a material one at a time in a sequential, self-limiting, manner.

The ALD2 uses 4 precursor gases and pulses each with a N2 purge following each pulse. Each cycle of gases deposits an atomic layer of material via typically two half-reactions. The tool is currently set up to deposit Al2O3, HfO2, and Er2O3.
