Application Case (Depositing Al₂O₃ on Silicon or Glass Substrates):
The process of depositing aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) thin films on silicon or glass substrates using Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) technology typically includes the following steps. This process primarily relies on the alternating introduction of precursors and reactive gases to achieve atomic-level film growth.
1.Substrate Preparation
Cleaning the Substrate: Clean the silicon or glass substrate thoroughly, typically using chemical cleaning methods to remove organic contaminants and particles. For silicon substrates, hydrofluoric acid (HF) etching may be performed to remove the surface oxide layer.
Drying the Substrate: Use nitrogen or other anhydrous gases to dry the substrate, ensuring that no moisture remains on the surface.
2.Loading the Substrate
Placing the Substrate: Place the cleaned silicon or glass substrate on the sample holder in the ALD system, ensuring that the smooth side is facing up.
Entering the Vacuum Chamber: Close the sample chamber of the ALD system and evacuate the air, typically reducing the chamber pressure to the range of 10⁻3 to 10⁻6 Torr.
3.Heating the Substrate
Setting the Temperature: Heat the substrate to an appropriate deposition temperature. For Al₂O₃ deposition, the temperature is usually between 150°C and 300°C, depending on the precursor used and the desired film quality.
Stabilizing the Temperature: Before starting the deposition, ensure that the substrate temperature is stable and evenly distributed.
4.Depositing Aluminum Oxide (Al₂O₃)
Pulse Precursor 1 (TMA): Introduce trimethylaluminum (TMA) as the aluminum source precursor. The TMA molecules react chemically with the substrate surface, adsorbing a single atomic layer. This process typically lasts a few seconds.
Purge Step: Stop the flow of TMA precursor gas and flush the reaction chamber with an inert gas (such as nitrogen or argon) for a few seconds to remove any unreacted TMA molecules and reaction by-products.
Pulse Precursor 2 (Water or Ozone): Introduce water vapor or ozone as the oxygen source precursor, which reacts with the adsorbed TMA layer to form Al2O3, releasing by-products (such as methane). This step also lasts a few seconds.
Purge Step: Again, flush the reaction chamber with an inert gas to ensure that only the desired Al₂O₃ thin film remains.
5.Repeating the Deposition Cycles
Number of Cycles: Repeat the above "Pulse TMA - Purge - Pulse Oxygen Source - Purge" steps according to the required film thickness. Each cycle typically grows about 0.1 to 0.2 nanometers of Al₂O₃ on the substrate surface.
Controlling Film Thickness: Adjust the number of cycles to control the total thickness of the aluminum oxide thin film.
6.Cooling and Unloading
Cooling the Substrate: After deposition is complete, reduce the reaction chamber temperature to allow the substrate to cool to room temperature.
Unloading the Substrate: Stop the deposition in a vacuum environment, restore the chamber to atmospheric pressure, open the chamber, and remove the deposited silicon or glass substrate.
7.Post-Treatment (Optional)
Post-Annealing: Depending on the application requirements, the deposited Al₂O₃ thin film may undergo heat treatment (such as annealing in an oxygen environment) to improve the film's physical and chemical properties.
8.Thin Film Characterization
Measuring Film Thickness: Use an ellipsometer or other thickness measurement equipment to check if the deposited Al₂O₃ film thickness meets expectations.
Surface Morphology Analysis: Examine the surface flatness and uniformity of the film using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) or Atomic Force Microscope (AFM).
This vacuum flash evaporation solution processing method (VASP) has been proven to produce high-efficiency, large-area perovskite solar cells.
