surface thickness (nm) (based on XPS) ALD growth rate (nm/cycle) selectivity (%) (based on XPS) AFM RMS roughness (nm)
OH–Si(100) 2.16 0.11 -- 0.49
H-Si(100) 1.49 0.07 18.5 0.53
Cl(H)–Si(100) 1.16 0.06 30.0 0.21
Br(H)–Si(100) 1.23 0.06 27.6 0.76
I(H)–Si(100) 1.32 0.07 24.2 0.78

Selectivity is defined as a proportion between the surface concentration of Al atoms on the OH–Si(100) reference and the surface concentration of Al atoms on the Hal-Si(100) surfaces, all values found using XPS and normalized to the Si 2p signal.
