Overview

Date: Wednesday, March 11, 2020
Time: 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. EDT
Cost:
This webinar will develop a basic understanding of the Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) technique and apply that to the detailed understanding of the ALD chemistry of oxides, nitrides, sulfides and metals. Precursor requirements and various ALD reactor configurations will be reviewed.  Measuring ALD growth rates, monitoring ALD chemistry and analyzing thin film properties through in-situ and ex-situ based techniques will be covered.  This webinar will survey the applications of ALD in semiconductor microelectronics, composite structures for X-ray optics, coatings for MEMS devices, and diffusion barriers for corrosion resistance in polymer electronics. Potential avenues and recent developments of ALD research will be covered.

Who Should Attend

Technicians, engineers and scientists who either have an interest or need to learn about the basic principles of ALD or a desire to keep up to date or broaden their knowledge of this rapidly expanding technique of thin film deposition.

  • The surface science and vacuum science required to quantify the ALD process.
  • The fundamentals of ALD including advantages and limitations.
  • The similarities and differences between CVD and ALD.
  • About ideal and non-ideal ALD and thermal and plasma-enhanced ALD.
  • The limitations of ALD and the precursor requirements.
  • ALD reactor design and process requirements.
  • Leak detection equipment and best known practices.
  • How ALD is applied to semiconductor processing.
  • Recent developments in ALD applications.
