Abstract

Thin alumina films are grown on a silicon substrate, in vacuum, at a rate of about 10 Å per second, and at substrate temperatures below 1500C. Alumina is dissolved in supercritical water and the resulting solution expanded in a supersonic free jet, which is directed at the substrate. The films are characterized by ESCA and FTIR.
