Abstract

With alternating exposure of Si (100) substrates to tri (t-butoxy) silanol and anhydrous zirconium nitrate, mixed films of zirconia and silica were deposited at 162°C. The films were atomically smooth and their thickness was uniform across the entire substrate. The maximum growth rate of 12 Å/cycle implies deposition of more than one monolayer per cycle. A singular reflection in the low angle X-ray scattering pattern indicates an ordered bi-layer structure. Similar nanolaminate structures were also formed using anhydrous nitrates of hafnium and tin.
