Atomic-Scale Processing for Future Semiconductor Devices
Atomic-Scale Processing (ASP) is a toolbox to deposit or etch films at the atomic scale. It started mostly with atomic layer deposition (ALD), but insights have advanced this to new concepts, including atomic layer etching (ALE) and area-selective deposition (ASD). Together with EUV, this toolbox has really enabled the last few chip nodes and is driving next generation nanoelectronics. But ASP is also gaining ground in solar, batteries, memory, … In our group in Eindhoven, we focus on mechanistic research of ASP: How the interaction of precursors, ions and photons with surfaces leads to film deposition and resulting film properties. This is often done using in-situ studies, while we mostly validate our films in devices through collaborations. My own research within the group is focused on ASP for future semiconductor devices, focusing on 2D TMDs, amorphous oxide semiconductors and fluorite ferroelectrics.
Aiming to complement my materials-based research, I am currently on a sabbatical at AMO in Aachen to learn more about the device processing side of semiconductor devices. In return, in this seminar I want to give a comprehensive introductory overview of what atomic-scale processing is. I will start “tutorial-like” at the basics of ALD, moving to the concept of ALE and ASD. I will cherry-pick a few of our recent in-situ studies and focus on the main practical insights we got from that. In the end, I will focus on my own research on ALD for 2D TMDs and amorphous oxide semiconductors.
As a last point to mention, I hope that by giving an overview of what we do in Eindhoven, this seminar might spark some ideas for further collaboration!
