Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.

Abstract (eng): Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) is a thin film deposition technique that has received a lot of attention in many fields of science and industry due to its sequential, self-limiting reactions.
Although it is slow method, it allows uniform, high density films with conformal depositions on 3D high aspect ratio structures.
ALD allows thickness control of the film down to sub nanometre range.
For more understanding and future applications, certain properties like accurate thickness, density and roughness of film is needed to get characterized.

In this work ALD deposited aluminium oxide, titanium dioxide, aluminium nitride and a nanolaminate sample are characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray Reflectivity (XRR) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) methods.

The density, thickness and roughness of films are measured by XRR method.
Grazing Incidence X-ray Diffraction (GIXRD) is used to examine the crystal nature of the deposited films.
There were no peaks found for the amorphous films.
The crystallite size and phases of crystalline films are determined by this method.

AFM technique was used to see the morphology of the films.
AFM gives the roughness of the films as well which was giving quiet similar results to that of roughness values found by XRR.
These results give a better understanding of ALD films deposited at different temperature conditions and with different thickness values.
