Abstract

Thin films of A12O3 were prepared by sequential surface chemical reaction of trimethylaluminum and hydrogen peroxide at low temperatures. It has been found that hydrogen peroxide reacts very easily with trimethylaluminum, resulting in growth of A12O3 at the temperature as low as the room temperature. Another favorable feature of the technique is that the growth of excellent A12O3 occurs identically wherever the reactants reach, making it possible to completely coat the surface of the sample with arbitrary shape.
