How to Extend the Lifespan of Quantum Dots (QD)
- It is well-known that QDs can be damaged by oxygen, moisture, and heat. Therefore, applying Al2O3
(passivation) to the surface of QDs can prolong their lifespan and enhance stability.
- Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) is the ideal technique for coating and passivating QD thin films because it
offers excellent control over film growth at the sub-nanometer grade and produces highly conformal coatings
under gentle processing conditions.
