TY - JOUR AU - Wang, Xinwei AU - Chen, Rong AU - Sun, Shuhui PY - 2023 TI - Material manufacturing from atomic layer JO - International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing SN - 2631-8644 SP - 043001 VL - 5 IS - 4 AB - Atomic scale engineering of materials and interfaces has become increasingly important in material manufacturing. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a technology that can offer many unique properties to achieve atomic-scale material manufacturing controllability. Herein, we discuss this ALD technology for its applications, attributes, technology status and challenges. We envision that the ALD technology will continue making significant contributions to various industries and technologies in the coming years.
