Growing interest in Fe2O3 as a light harvesting layer in solar energy conversion devices stems from its unique combination of stability, nontoxicity, and exceptionally low material cost. Unfortunately, the known methods for conformally coating high aspect ratio structures with Fe2O3 leave a glaring gap in the technologically relevant temperature range of 170-350 degrees C. Here, we elucidate a self-limiting atomic layer deposition (ALD) process for the growth of hematite, alpha-Fe2O3, over a moderate temperature window using ferrocene and ozone. At 200 degrees C, the self-limiting growth of Fe2O3 is observed at rates up to 1.4 angstrom/cycle. Dense and robust thin films grown on both fused quartz and silicon exhibit the expected optical bandgap (2.1 eV). In situ mass spectrometric analysis reveals the evolution of two distinct cyclic reaction products during the layer-by-layer growth. The readily available and relatively high vapor pressure iron precursor is utilized to uniformly coat a high surface area template with aspect ratio similar to 150.
