Deposition of aluminium oxide

Aluminium oxide (Alumina, Al2O3 ) can be deposited by use of ALD (atomic layer deposition) or by a sputter technique in the Lesker Sputter System. During the sputter deposition oxygen is added to the chamber resulting in aluminium oxide on the sample

Comparison of the methods for deposition of Alumium Oxide
