Impact of Atomic Layer Deposition to NanoPhotonic Structures and Devices: A Review

We review the significance of optical thin films by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) method to fabricate nanophotonic devices and structures. ALD is a versatile technique to deposit functional coatings on reactive surfaces with conformal growth of compound materials, precise thickness control capable o...
