Abstract

The name says it all: Chemical Vapor deposition. CVD depends on the availability of a volatile chemical, which can be converted by some reaction into the desired solid film. We’ve already discussed how the vapors, once produced, can be transported to the substrate and heated up when they get there. Next we need to think about what makes the vapors in the first place (that is, volatility) and how these vapors can react in the gas phase or on the surfaces to be converted into the film.
