• We do Materials Synthesis* including thin film deposition (PVD, CVD, ALD), polymerization, surface functionalization, and electrochemical processing.
• Our primary interests are in materials systems that (a) combine organic and inorganic components or (b) use 3-dimensionality to enhance functionality.
*Note: We design and build all of our own deposition tools (hardware & software) for maximum adaptability.

Science & Engineering
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a vapor-phase thin film deposition technique that proceeds via a sequential set of surface reactions that are self-limiting.
Precursors chemicals are delivered in the gas phase.
Precursors are delivered sequentially (NOT concurrently).
Precursors only react with solid surfaces, not with other precursors in the gas phase.
Precursors do not react with themselves.

Nuances of ALD1. ALD is NOT like the cartoons!
1 cycle does not necessarily equal1 atomic layer. For example,TMA/H2O cycles are ~1/3 of alayer.
2. Subsurface deposition occurs formany polymeric systems.
3. Film density and organic contentcan change with temperature.
4. Nucleation can be a problem.
5. Byproducts can cause problems.Mackus, Bol, and Kessels, Nanoscale 6 10941 (2014)

1. Low Throughput–Research systems like our flow tube reactors can take 2 min / cycle, which equates to 1.5 days to deposit 0.1 mm.-Can be overcome by increasing pumping speeds, using batch processing

We are able to convert cellulosic fibers from hydrophilic to hydrophobic using a single exposures cycle that takes < 1 min.
This effect is irrespective of the cellulose’s form factor because gaseous precursors can diffuse everywhere!

Burgeoning opportunities in vapor-phase modification of paper-based products.
Roll-to-roll atomic layer deposition has the potential to revolutionize paper and textile manufacturing.(Who will seize this opportunity?)
An even more immediate opportunity is to use single-cycle (or few cycle) vapor phase processing techniques to enhance the properties of FINISHED paper products.

“Ideal” ALD
The ALD “Temperature Window”
*Sometimes this window is only a few degrees
• Provide sufficient precursor to saturate the surface
• Purge sufficiently long to remove all excess precursor
• Work within a temperature window where ONLY surface reactions are thermodynamically favored.
