摘要
Room-temperature atomic layer deposition (ALD) of ZrO2 is developed with tetrakis(ethylmethylamino)zirconium (TEMAZ) and a plasma-excited humidified argon. A growth per cycle of 0.17 nm/cycle at room temperature is confirmed, and the TEMAZ adsorption and its oxidization on ZrO2 are characterized by IR absorption spectroscopy with a multiple internal reflection mode. TEMAZ is saturated on a ZrO2 surface with exposures exceeding similar to 2.0 x 10(5) Langmuir (1 Langmuir =1.0 x 10(-6) Torr s) at room temperature, and the plasma-excited humidified argon is effective in oxidizing the TEMAZ-adsorbed ZrO2 surface. The IR absorption spectroscopy suggests that Zr-OH works as an adsorption site for TEMAZ. The reaction mechanism of room-temperature ZrO2 ALD is discussed in this paper. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.
