Chemistry of ALD – A Textbook

You can buy it here, and the Amazon author page can be found here.

I hope it will be the backbone of a course on ALD chemistry; it isn’t comprehensive concerning precursors or surface chemistry, but rather, it will go through the core concepts of understanding ALD from a chemistry point of view.
