Kuech (Elsevier, 2015). doi: FOR TEACHING AND SCHOLARLY USE ONLY - DO NOT DISTRIBUTE 1 Abstract Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), also referred to historically as Atomic Layer epitaxy (ALE), is a vapor-phase Deposition technique for preparing ultrathin films with precise growth control. ALD is currently rapidly evolving, mostly driven by the continuous trend to miniaturize electronic devices. In addition many other innovative technologies are increasingly benefitting from the high-quality thin films. This chapter describes on an elementary level the key features of ALD.
silicon-based microelectronics industry began to in-crease.4,6 At that time, the method was also coined atom-ic layer deposition (ALD), a name which was more appro-priate considering the fact that the interest in amorphous films strongly increased. This increase was most promi-nent in highly-insulating oxide films to be used as low-
