In Situ Spectroscopic Ellipsometry Study of Plasma-Enhanced ALD of Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>on Chromium Substrates
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) of aluminum oxide thin films on chromium substrates was studied using in situ spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE). The study of the initial stages of ALD film growth on metal surfaces is an important topic in the emerging field of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) fabrication. Chromium substrates were prepared by DC magnetron sputtering and were transferred under vacuum into an ALD reaction chamber. Formation of a thin layer of chromium oxide was observed during the initial cycles of plasma-enhanced ALD of aluminum oxide. The thickness of this interfacial oxide layer depends on various process parameters including deposition temperature, order of precursors and plasma pulse length. The interfacial oxide layer was absent during thermal ALD. FTIR measurements confirmed that the Cr/Al2O3 interface is affected by the type of ALD (thermal or plasma-enhanced).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
