Manipulating Porous Matter
Our collaborative work with Imec on the defect-free area-selective atomic layer deposition of titanium oxide has now been published in ACS applied materials & interfaces.
In this work, we investigate the selective deposition of titanium oxide by plasma halogenation of amorphous carbon acting as a growth-inhibiting layer. Additionally, the value of imaging techniques such as atomic force microscopy for understanding defect formation mechanisms and accurately assessing growth selectivity is highlighted.
