Abstract

Area-selective atomic layer deposition (AS-ALD) allows nanostructures of arbitrary composition and lateral shape to be built with atomic precision on pre-selected substrate locations. Most current approaches for AS-ALD are based on local inhibition (e.g. with self-assembled monolayers) or activation. However, for some applications of AS-ALD (e.g. in self-aligned fabrication) it is relevant to be able to exploit differences in chemical behavior of a pre-patterned substrate. For this reason, investigating inherent differences in nucleation on diverse substrates is of crucial importance for developing future AS-ALD processes. In this paper we are focussing on substrates of silicon and silicon-based dielectric materials (SiC, Si0 2 and SiNx) used in electronics.
