What property of material makes it a good choice as diffusion barrier for impurity?

11 November 2016 0 5K Report

I want to select a barrier layer for impurity diffusion from the substrate. what are the parameters for good diffusion barrier. Al2O3 is reported well as a barrier layer. Can ZnO be an alternative to this.
