Abstract

(Figure Presented) Controlled growth: A non-aqueous approach inspired from sol-gel chemistry and adapted to the formation of metal oxide thin films by means of atomic layer deposition is presented. The process is based on the reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alkoxide. Growth of metal oxides is achieved at temperatures as low as 50°C on various supports including carbon nanotubes (see TEM picture). The as-grown films show excellent uniformity and possess good dielectric properties.
