Abstract

Bottom-up nanofabrication by area-selective atomic layer deposition (ALD) is currently gaining momentum in semiconductor processing, because of the increasing need for eliminating the edge placement errors of top-down processing. Moreover, area-selective ALD offers new opportunities in many other areas such as the synthesis of catalysts with atomic-level control. This Perspective provides an overview of the current developments in the field of area-selective ALD, discusses the challenge of achieving a high selectivity, and provides a vision for how area-selective ALD processes can be improved. A general cause for the loss of selectivity during deposition is that the character of surfaces on which no deposition should take place changes when it is exposed to the ALD chemistry. A solution is to implement correction steps during ALD involving for example surface functionalization or selective etching. This leads to the development of advanced ALD cycles by combining conventional two-step ALD cycles with correction steps in multistep cycle and/or supercycle recipes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
