Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition

  • Chapter
Advanced Techniques for Surface Engineering

Part of the book series: Eurocourses: Mechanical and Materials Science ((EUMM,volume 1))

Abstract

The basic principles of Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition processes are examined along with reactor architectures. Emphasis is given to the chemistry of the discharge and to active species and deposition precursors with the aim of correlating film compositions with discharge internal parameters. The processes for the deposition of films of fluoropolymers, metal containing polymers, SiO2-likes and silicone-likes are examined as case studies.
