Abstract
AbstractWe have studied the nucleation and growth of alumina by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The deposition of alumina films was carried out on Si(100) in a horizontal, hot-wall, low pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor, using aluminum acetylacetonate{Al(acac)3}as the CVD precursor. We have investigated growth of alumina films as a function of different CVD parameters such as substrate temperature and total reactor pressure during film growth. Films were characterized by optical microscopy, X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cross-sectional SEM, and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) compositional depth profiling. The chemical analysis reveals that the carbon is present throughout the depth of the films.
