Abstract

A method includes performing an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process with respect to a plurality of target elements to coat interiors of the plurality of target elements with a protective coating. Performing the ALD process includes alternating delivery of a first precursor inside the plurality of target elements for a first duration to form an adsorption layer on the interiors of the plurality of target elements, alternating purging of the first precursor from the plurality of target elements for a second duration, and alternating delivery of a second precursor inside the plurality of target elements for a third duration to cause the second precursor to react with the adsorption layer and form a target layer on the interiors of the plurality of target elements.
