Abstract
Recently, atomic layer deposition (ALD) has been employed as a promising technique for the growth of solid thin films with high conformality on complex geometries such as heterogeneous catalysts and microelectronic devices. In this work, surface sensitive characterization techniques have been employed to investigate initial precursor-substrate reactions and ALD surface chemistry.
