[14p-P10-19] Room-temperature atomic layer deposition of SnO2 by using plasma-excited humidified argon
Keywords:Tin oxide, atomic layer deposition, plasma-excited humidified argon
Tin oxide (SnO2) is an oxide semiconductor material with an excellent optical transparency for transparent conducting films. It is also used as a channel material for gas sensors. A room temperature atomic layer deposition of SnO2 is developed with a precursor of tetra methyl tin (Sn(CH3)4, TMT) and plasma excited humidified Ar for flexible electronics. We confirm the growth per cycle of 0.02 nm /cycle by spectroscopic ellipsometry. XPS indicated that the deposited SnO2 is in the fully oxidized state. The saturated reaction of the precursor adsorption and its oxidization was confirmed by IR absorbance spectroscopy.
