In this work, the adsorption mechanism of dimeric and monomeric DMAI on a fully hydroxylated Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> surface is studied using machine-learning potential (MLP) calculations. The initial adsorption of DMAI appears facile and would result in the coexistence of both methyl and isopropoxy ligands on the surface. The reactivity of DMAI is smaller than that of TMA, owing to the propensity of DMAI to adopt a dimeric form. Especially when the substrate is partially covered by other adsorbate species, the large molecular size and low reactivity of dimeric DMAI considerably hinder its reactivity toward surface adsorption. Current results are in good correspondence with the previous experimental results, where lower growth per cycle (GPC) and higher selectivity in area-selective ALD (AS-ALD) could be observed by using DMAI than compared to those of TMA processes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":17219,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Science: Advanced Materials and Devices","volume":"9 3","pages":"Article 100754"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2468217924000856/pdfft?md5=9cbdef6a50b4b9595b5b7045893dbb76&pid=1-s2.0-S2468217924000856-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141276431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
