Self-aligned patterning of tantalum oxide on Cu/SiO2 through redox-coupled inherently selective atomic layer deposition

Abstract Atomic-scale precision alignment is a bottleneck in the fabrication of next-generation nanoelectronics. In this study, a redox-coupled inherently selective atomic layer deposition (ALD) is introduced to tackle this challenge. The ‘reduction-adsorption-oxidation’ ALD cycles are designed by a...
