Abstract
Low-temperature deposition of Y2O3 at 80°C is studied using an yttrium precursor of tris(butylcyclopentadienyl)yttrium (Y(BuCp)3) and plasma exited humidified argon oxidizer. The deposition is demonstrated using an atomic-layer-deposition sequence; the Y(BuCp)3 and the oxidizing gases are time separately introduced to the reaction chamber and these injections are repeated. To determine the gas introduction conditions, surface reactions of Y(BuCp)3 adsorption and its oxidization are observed by an in-situ IR absorption spectroscopy. The deposited film is confirmed as fully oxidized Y2O3 by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The present deposition is applicable for the deposition of Y2O3 film on flexible polyethylene terephthalate films.
