Simulation of Conformality of ALD Growth Inside Lateral Channels: Comparison Between a Diffusion-Reaction Model and a Ballistic Transport-Reaction Model
Abstract:Atomic layer deposition (ALD) has found significant use in the coating of high-aspect-ratio (HAR) structures. Approaches to model ALD film conformality in HAR structures can generally be classified into diffusion-reaction (DR) models, ballistic transport-reaction (BTR) models and Monte Carlo simulations. This work compares saturation profiles obtained using a DR model and a BTR model. The saturation profiles were compared qualitatively and quantitatively in terms of half-coverage penetration depth, slope at ha… Show more
