4.1 Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD)

ALD enables atomic-level control through sequential self-limiting surface reactions.

📐 Film Thickness: $$t = N_{cycles} \times GPC$$ where GPC is growth per cycle

💻 Code Example 1: ALD Growth

# Requirements:
# - Python 3.9+
# - matplotlib>=3.7.0
# - numpy>=1.24.0, <2.0.0

    return cycles * gpc

cycles = np.arange(0, 1000, 10)
thickness = ald_thickness(cycles)
