표면 반응 제어를 통한 영역 선택적 원자층 증착법 연구 동향

Area selective atomic layer deposition (AS-ALD) is a bottom-up nanopattern fabrication method that can grow the ALD films only on the desired substrate areas without using photolithography and etching processes. Particularly, AS-ALD has attracted great attention in the semiconductor manufacturing process due to its advantage in reducing edge placement error by fabricating self-aligned patterns. In this paper, the basic principles and characteristics of AS-ALD are described. In addition, various approaches for achieving AS-ALD with excellent selectivity were comprehensively reviewed. Finally, the technology development to overcome the selectivity limit of AS-ALD was introduced along with future prospects.
