AUGUST 9, 2024 - As the field of artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve, Line-Bell Laboratories is leading efforts to integrate deep learning into nanofabrication. A forthcoming review paper delves into the state of plasma atomic layer deposition (ALD) and the role of deep learning in enhancing plasma ALD and plasma atomic layer etching (ALE), two critical processes in thin film semiconductors, micro- and nanoelectronics, biomedical devices, and next-generation battery fabrication.
Revolutionizing Thin Film Fabrication
The paper builds on the foundation of thermal ALD, known for its precision in producing high-quality thin films. It also briefly discusses thermal ALE, a growing area of research. The manuscript highlights the challenges that still exist in plasma-enhanced atomic layer processing (ALP), such as radical recombination, surface roughness, and plasma damage. These challenges underscore the need for innovative approaches to control and optimize these processes.
The Role of Plasma Control & Deep Learning
The paper positions plasma control & deep learning as a game-changer in this domain, offering unprecedented opportunities for process control and optimization. The integration of deep learning promises to revolutionize how these challenges are addressed, offering new approaches for predicting and controlling multiscale processes. The research explores how AI can be leveraged to optimize these fabrication methods, setting the stage for future advancements.
Looking Ahead
This review builds upon seminal work by Profijt et al. (2011), Knoops et al. (2019), and Boris et al. (2020), offering a comprehensive update on the state of plasma ALD, including its benefits, limitations, recent developments, and its future directions. As the manuscript nears completion, it is poised to contribute significantly to the field of nanofabrication.
In Summary
As Line-Bell Laboratories continues its pioneering research, this upcoming paper is expected to highlight the current state of plasma ALP, the transformative potential of deep learning in nanofabrication, and the future of innovations based on nanotechnology and its integration with artificial intelligence. Further details will be shared upon the paper's completion and publication.
