CaF2, SrF2, and ZnF2 thin films have been deposited on glass substrates for the first time using atomic layer deposition (ALD) at temperatures between 260 and 400-degrees-C. The source-materials used are alkaline earth beta-diketonates, zinc acetate dihydrate, and hydrogen fluoride in nitrogen atmosphere. The growth rate of films varies from 20 to 90 pm/cycle depending on materials and temperature. The crystallinity, orientation, stoichiometry, atomic density, optical and electrical properties together with growth properties of the films have been characterized. Also, multilayer structures with alternating materials of high (ZnS) and low (fluoride) index of refraction have been prepared by ALD.
