I'm looking for some help with ALD. I know it stands for Atomic Layer Deposition, but I don't know what the three most common forms are.
What are the three most common forms of ALD

Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD)
Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) is a type of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process that is used to deposit thin films of material onto substrates. ALD is a highly precise and controlled process that can be used to deposit thin films of material with atomic-level precision. ALD is used in a wide range of applications, from semiconductor device fabrication to medical device coating.
The Three Most Common Forms of ALD
The three most common forms of ALD are thermal ALD, plasma-enhanced ALD (PEALD), and metalorganic ALD (MOALD).
Thermal ALD
Thermal ALD is a process that uses heat to deposit thin films of material onto a substrate. In this process, a chemical precursor is heated to a temperature above its decomposition point and then allowed to react with the substrate surface. This reaction results in the deposition of a thin film of material on the substrate. Thermal ALD is used to deposit thin films of a variety of materials, including metals, semiconductors, and dielectrics.
Plasma-Enhanced ALD (PEALD)
Plasma-enhanced ALD (PEALD) is a process that uses a plasma to deposit thin films of material onto a substrate. In this process, a chemical precursor is exposed to a plasma, which breaks down the molecules into smaller units. These smaller units are then allowed to react with the substrate surface, resulting in the deposition of a thin film of material.
Metalorganic ALD (MOALD)
Metalorganic ALD (MOALD) is a process that uses metalorganic precursors to deposit thin films of material onto a substrate. In this process, a metalorganic precursor is exposed to a plasma, which breaks down the molecules into smaller units. These smaller units are then allowed to react with the substrate surface, resulting in the deposition of a thin film of material. MOALD is used to deposit thin films of a variety of materials, including metals, semiconductors, and dielectrics.

The three most common forms of ALD are:
1. Thin Film ALD: This is a chemical vapor deposition process used to deposit thin films of various materials on a substrate surface.
2. Atomic Layer Etching (ALE): This is a technique used to selectively remove layers of material from a substrate.
3. Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD): This is a process used to deposit thin layers of materials onto a substrate. It is typically used in the semiconductor industry for making devices such as transistors and memory chips.

The three most common forms of ALD (Adrenoleukodystrophy) are the childhood cerebral form, the adrenomyeloneuropathy form, and the Addison-only form. The childhood cerebral form is the most severe type, affecting children aged 4-10 and resulting in rapid neurological decline. The adrenomyeloneuropathy form affects adults and progresses slowly over many years, usually causing sensory and motor problems. The Addison-only form is the mildest form, mainly affecting the adrenal glands and causing Addison's disease.

The three most common forms of Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome (ALD) are X-linked, autosomal recessive, and autosomal dominant.
X-Linked ALD is caused by mutations in the SH2D1A gene, located on the X chromosome. This form of ALD is the most common and is found in both males and females, although it is more severe in males. Symptoms generally include enlarged lymph nodes, enlarged spleen, and anemia. Treatment usually involves chemotherapy, immunosuppressive drugs, and bone marrow transplantation.
Autosomal Recessive ALD is caused by mutations in the PRKCD gene and is the least common form of ALD. This form of ALD is only found in males and symptoms include enlarged lymph nodes, enlarged spleen, and anemia. Treatment typically involves chemotherapy, immunosuppressive drugs, and bone marrow transplantation.
Autosomal Dominant ALD is caused by mutations in the CD40 gene and is the second most common form of ALD. This form of ALD is found in both males and females and symptoms include enlarged lymph nodes, enlarged spleen, and anemia. Treatment typically involves chemotherapy, immunosuppressive drugs, and bone marrow transplantation.
In all three forms of ALD, timely diagnosis and treatment is essential in order to prevent further progression of the disease and potential complications.

The three most common forms of ALD (Adrenoleukodystrophy) are the childhood cerebral form, the adult cerebral form, and the adrenomyeloneuropathy form. The childhood cerebral form is the most common form and is characterized by a progressive cerebral demyelination that leads to severe neurological disabilities and death. The adult cerebral form is characterized by a slowly progressive myelin degeneration, resulting in cognitive deficits and motor disturbances. Finally, the adrenomyeloneuropathy form is characterized by a slowly progressive myelin degeneration of the spinal cord, leading to a variety of neurological symptoms.
