Layer-by-layer deposition using hydrogen

Layer-by-layer thickness control of an electroplated film can be achieved by using a cyclic deposition process. The cyclic process involves forming a layer (or partial layer) of hydrogen on a surface of the substrate, then displacing the layer of hydrogen with a layer of metal. These steps are repea...

Zusammenfassung:Layer-by-layer thickness control of an electroplated film can be achieved by using a cyclic deposition process. The cyclic process involves forming a layer (or partial layer) of hydrogen on a surface of the substrate, then displacing the layer of hydrogen with a layer of metal. These steps are repeated a number of times to deposit the metal film to a desired thickness. Each step in the cycle is self-limiting, thereby enabling atomic level thickness control.
