As-grown GdOx film was amorphous and had a sub-stoichiometric (x ~ 1.2) composition with a uniform elemental depth profile. ~3 nm-thick GdOx thin film could modify the hydrophilic Si substrate into hydrophobic surface with water wetting angle of 70°. Wetting and electrical test revealed that the growth temperature affects the hydrophobicity and electrical strength of the as-grown GdOx film.}, type={Article}, title={Growth Temperature Effect of Atomic-Layer-Deposited GdOx Films}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/119248/PDF/AMM-2021-3-17-Byung%20Joon%20Choi.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2021.136375}, keywords={gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3), rare-earth oxide, atomic layer deposition, hydrophobicity, electrical property}, }
