Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a vapor phase technique capable of producing thin films of a variety of materials. Based on sequential, self-limiting reactions, ALD offers exceptional conformality on three-dimensional and patterned structures, thickness control at nearly monolayer level, and tunable film composition. With these advantages, ALD has emerged as a powerful tool for many industrial and research applications. Although some materials like certain metal oxides (Aluminium Oxide and Zinc Oxide) have received tremendous attention, deposition of pure metals is still in its infancy. We have shown plasma-assisted ALD deposition of Cobalt and are developing new processes for deposition on various substrates (unpublished data). We assess the deposition quality through XPS, AFM, XRD and TEM. Successful deposition of such stacks will open up possibilities to include new materials and develop novel electronic and spintronic devices.
