Abstract
This paper introduces a novel Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) process for preparation of fluoride thin films at temperature range of 225-450 °C. The crystallinity, morphology, composition, thicknesses, refractive indices, and transmittance of the films were analyzed. Low impurity levels were obtained at 350-400 °C with good stoichiometry. Refractive indices were 1.34-1.42 for MgF2, 1.43 for CaF2 and 1.57-1.61 for LaF3 films.
