Creation of ZnS ![[atomic_layer_deposition.png]] (a) ZnCl<sub>2</sub> adsorbs to substrate, forms only one layer of chemically bonded molecules (b) N<sub>2</sub> purges excess ZnCl<sub>2</sub> molecules (c) Introduce H<sub>2</sub>S, H and Cl bond, Zn and S bond (d) N<sub>2</sub> purges excess H<sub>2</sub>S molecules Advantage - can grow precise thickness - deposit onto complex geometry
