Surface chemical mechanisms of trimethyl aluminum in atomic layer deposition of AlN

Journal of Materials Chemistry C· Volume 11· Issue 40

Abstract

Two different pathways for decomposition of adsorbed trimethyl aluminum in the ALD of AlN have been investigated by computation chemistry. The two pathways give different saturation coverage and thus growth per cycle.
