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 or the Cryofox PVD co-sputter/evaporation. During the sputter deposition oxygen is added to the chamber resulting in aluminium oxide on the sample
