Input of In situ characterisation in atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes.

As with all development methods, optimizing the desired properties of an ALD-developed functional material is necessarily linked to mastery of the development process. This control can be acquired following a large number of growth experiments analyzed by ex situ and a posteriori techniques. Another way of meeting this demand is to analyze in situ the species created in the gas phase and compare them with thermodynamic calculations [RE252] . The ability to carry out in situ analyses during the growth process provides access to new information and reduces...
