摘要：
The fabrication of thermoelectric nanolaminate structures of alternating Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3 ALD layers for thermoelectric application is reported. Trimethylsilyl telluride ((Me3Si)(2)Te), bismuth trichloride (BiCl3) and antimony trichloride (SbCl3) were utilized as chemical ALD precursors for tellurium, bismuth and antimony, respectively. The results of field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) indicate that both metal tellurides exhibit the prevalent Volmer-Weber island growth mechanism with characteristic hexagonal crystallites. High resolution TEM X-section analysis reveals localized epitaxial growth of alternating ALD Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3 layers within the large islands.
