We report on the successful coating of two 1.3 GHz Tesla-shaped SRF cavities with 18 nm and 36 nm layers of Al₂O₃ deposited by thermal atomic layer deposition (ALD). The coating recipe was developed by thermal atomic layer deposition (ALD). The coating recipe was optimized with respect to different the applied process parameters such as exposure and purge times, substrate temperature and flow rates. After a proof-of-principle Al₂O₃ coating of a cavity, second the cavity maintained its maximum achievable accelerating field of more than 40 MV/m and no deterioration was observed [1]. On the contrary, an improvement of the surface resistance above 10 MV/m has been observed, which is now further under investigation.}}, }
