ALD is a thin film deposition technique based on self-terminating surface reactions of gas precursors. It involves alternating exposure of a substrate to different precursors separated by purge steps, resulting in one atomic layer of film growth per cycle. ALD provides highly conformal and uniform coatings with atomic-level thickness control due to its self-limiting growth mechanism. It is widely used for depositing oxides, nitrides and some metals in applications such as semiconductors, coatings, MEMS and solar cells.
This document discusses and compares two techniques for growing single crystal silicon: the Bridgman technique and the Czochralski (CZ) technique. It states that while the Bridgman technique is simpler, involving a quartz ampoule, boat, heater and temperature profile, crystals grown with this method contain many dislocations. The CZ technique is more complex but can produce higher quality crystals. It involves controlling a furnace, crystal pulling rate, ambient conditions and system. The document concludes that the CZ technique is preferable for growing single crystal silicon due to producing crystals with fewer defects.

Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) is a method for growing thin films one layer at a time under ultra-high vacuum conditions. It involves heating solid sources of material in effusion cells to create molecular beams that are deposited on a heated substrate. The absence of carrier gases and ultra-high vacuum environment result in films of the highest purity. MBE is widely used to manufacture semiconductor devices and is considered a fundamental tool for nanotechnology development due to its precise control over layer thickness down to a single atomic layer.
This document discusses diffusion in solids, which is the phenomenon of material transport through atomic motion even in crystalline solids. Diffusion plays an important role in materials processing and phase transformations. It occurs through mechanisms like vacancy diffusion or interstitial diffusion. Fick's laws of diffusion can be used to model and predict diffusion rates based on factors like concentration gradients, diffusion coefficients, and temperature. Applications of diffusion include alloying, case hardening, doping of semiconductors, corrosion protection, and diffusion bonding.

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a thin film deposition technique that relies on self-limiting surface reactions to deposit one atomic layer at a time. It allows for precise thickness control, high conformality, and deposition of a wide range of materials at relatively low temperatures. The ALD process involves alternating exposures of precursor gases separated by purging, with the precursors reacting through ligand exchange reactions on the substrate surface. This allows layer-by-layer growth and results in superior uniformity and conformality compared to other vapor deposition methods.

(INVITED) Fundamentals of atomic layer deposition: an introduction (“ALD 101”)
Riikka L. Puurunen, Aalto University School of Chemical Engineering, Department of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering, AVS 21st International Conference on Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD 2021), Virtual Meeting 27.6.-30.6.2021. Tutorial Session 27.6.2021
ABSTRACT: Atomic layer deposition (ALD) has become of global importance as a processing technology for example in semiconductor device fabrication, and its application areas are continuously expanding. The significance of ALD was highlighted e.g. by the recent (2018) Millennium Technology Prize. Tens of companies are offering ALD tools, and thousands of people are involved in ALD R&D globally. A continuous need exists to educate new people on the fundamentals of ALD.
While ALD for manufacturing may be regarded mature, as a scientific field, ALD—in the author’s view—is developing. For example, understanding of the early history of ALD is evolving, related to the two independent inventions of ALD under the names Atomic Layer Epitaxy in the 1970s and Molecular Layering in the 1960s [1-4]. Also, significantly varying views exist in the field related to the description and meaningfulness of even some core ALD concepts [5].
The purpose of this invited “ALD 101” tutorial is to familiarize a newcomer with fundamentals of ALD. The presentation largely follows the organization of a recent encyclopedia chapter on ALD [6]. Surface chemistry concepts will be introduced, such as ideal ALD from repeated, separate self-terminating (saturating and irreversible) reactions; growth per cycle in ALD; various monolayer concepts relevant to ALD; typical classes of surface reaction mechanisms and saturation-determining factors; growth modes; and ways to describe growth kinetics. Concepts, where differing views exist in the field and which thus need special attention, are pointed out. Typical deviations from the presented ideality are discussed.
For continuous education, a collaborative OpenLearning website on ALD is under construction [7]. Many of the images used in this tutorial—and in Refs. 6 and 7—are available in Wikimedia Commons [8] for easy and free reuse. To contribute to collective learning of the early history of ALD, the open-science effort Virtual Project on the History of ALD [4] still welcomes new volunteer participants.

Plasma etching is a key process in microelectronic device manufacturing that uses reactive gases and radio frequency power to chemically etch materials in an anisotropic manner. It offers advantages over wet etching such as better control, reproducibility, selectivity, and ability to produce vertical sidewalls. While more expensive than wet etching, plasma etching became widely adopted in the 1970s and enabled the manufacturing of smaller features needed for advancing microelectronics technology.
The document discusses wire bonding for MEMS technology. It covers topics like wire bonding equipment, metallurgy considerations for common metal combinations used in wire bonding, shear testing of wire bonds, and process parameters that affect wire bonding results. The document contains diagrams and images to illustrate concepts discussed. It aims to provide an introduction and overview of key aspects of wire bonding.
The document discusses etching techniques used in semiconductor fabrication. It describes wet etching and dry etching processes. Wet etching uses liquid etchants and is isotropic, while dry etching uses plasma and can be anisotropic. Dry etching is now used almost exclusively due to its ability to produce smaller feature sizes. The document outlines the mechanisms of plasma etching, including reactive neutral species and ions that perform chemical and physical etching, respectively. It also discusses factors like etch selectivity and directionality.
This document discusses thin-film photovoltaics research and opportunities. It covers several topics:

This document provides an overview of atomic layer deposition (ALD), including its applications, deposition process, materials used, benefits, and characteristics. ALD involves sequential, self-limiting surface reactions to deposit thin, conformal films one atomic layer at a time. It can be used to deposit a wide variety of materials, such as oxides, nitrides, and metals. ALD enables highly uniform coatings on high aspect ratio structures down to the nanoscale.
Epitaxial deposition is a method for growing high quality crystalline films on crystalline substrates. There are two main types: homoepitaxy, where the film and substrate are the same material, and heteroepitaxy, where they differ. Key parameters that affect the epitaxial growth process include temperature, pressure, and reactant flow. Common techniques include vapor phase epitaxy, liquid phase epitaxy, and molecular beam epitaxy, each with their own advantages and disadvantages for producing films for semiconductor and optoelectronic devices.
Plastic deformation of single and polycrystalline materialsNegesaBekuma
This document discusses plastic deformation in single and polycrystalline materials. It describes how plastic deformation occurs through mechanisms like slip and twinning. Slip involves the sliding of crystal planes relative to one another, while twinning involves a symmetrical rearrangement of atoms in a crystal. The document also discusses dislocations, which are line defects that allow slip to occur in crystals by moving and multiplying. Different crystal structures like body-centered cubic, face-centered cubic, and hexagonal close-packed deform through different combinations of slip systems involving dislocations. Strengthening mechanisms that impede dislocation motion are also mentioned.
The document discusses the process of manufacturing single crystal silicon ingots for use in semiconductor chips. Raw silicon is obtained from sand and purified to electronic grade silicon. Single crystals are formed using techniques like the Czochralski method, where a silicon seed crystal is pulled slowly from a melt of purified silicon. This allows the silicon atoms to align uniformly and form a single crystal ingot. The ingots are sliced into thin wafers that serve as the base material for etching circuits onto semiconductor chips.
[1] Crystal defects are irregularities in the structure of a crystal that arise from imperfect packing of atoms. There are several types of crystal defects including point defects, line defects, surface defects, and volume defects.
[2] Point defects are zero-dimensional and include vacancies, interstitial defects, Schottky defects, and Frenkel defects. Line defects are one-dimensional and include edge and screw dislocations. Surface defects are two-dimensional and include grain boundaries, twin boundaries, and stacking faults. Volume defects are three-dimensional voids or non-crystalline regions within the crystal structure.
Ion implantation is a technique for doping semiconductors by accelerating ions to high energies and bombarding a wafer with them. During implantation, the wafer is kept at ambient temperature to prevent diffusion. However, a post-implant annealing step above 900°C is required to repair damage to the wafer's crystal structure caused by nuclear collisions with ions. Ion implantation offers more control over dopant dose and depth profile than diffusion and allows for precise doping of semiconductors.
Thermal oxidation is a process used to grow silicon dioxide films on silicon substrates. It involves heating silicon in an oxygen-containing environment to form a stable silicon-dioxide layer. The growth rate of the oxide layer follows a Deal-Grove model based on diffusion and reaction kinetics. While this model accurately describes thicker oxide growth, additional terms are needed to model the initially faster growth rate of very thin oxides. The oxidation rate depends on factors like temperature, oxidizing ambient, crystal orientation, and dopant concentration.
Ic technology- Crystal structure and Crystal growthkriticka sharma
ICs integrate thousands or millions of tiny transistors on a semiconductor wafer. They have advantages over discrete components like being smaller, faster, using less power. Moore's law observes that the number of transistors on an IC doubles every 18 months. Semiconductor substrates are wafers used to fabricate ICs. Crystal defects in wafers like point defects and dislocations can occur during manufacturing and affect processing.
This document discusses various types of defects that can occur in crystal structures, categorizing them based on dimensionality. Point defects are irregularities around a single atom and include vacancies, interstitials, Frenkel defects, and Schottky defects. Line defects distort atomic bonds around a dislocation line and include edge and screw dislocations. Surface defects occur at grain boundaries where crystal orientations change. Bulk defects in the volume of the material include precipitates, dispersants, inclusions, and voids. Defects can impact material properties and are sometimes deliberately introduced to improve characteristics.
Silicon carbide (SiC) is a wide bandgap semiconductor material useful for high temperature, high power, and high frequency applications. It has exceptional properties like high thermal conductivity, hardness, and electric field breakdown strength. There are over 200 known polytypes of SiC crystal structures defined by their stacking sequences. Common polytypes include 3C, 2H, 4H, 6H and 15R SiC. 4H-SiC has better electrical properties than other polytypes making it suitable for power devices. SiC can be doped n-type or p-type and exhibits high electron and hole mobilities. It is widely used for applications requiring operation at high temperatures and voltages.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
