Chemical vapour deposition of aluminium silicate thin films
Abstract
Aluminium silicate, (Al2O3)x(SiO2)y, thin films have been grown by atmospheric pressure metal-organic vapour deposition using the volatile metal organic precusor [Al(OSiEt3)3]2. As determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the deposited films consisted of a mixture of Al2O3, SiO2, and an aluminosilicate.
