What is Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD)?

Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) is a powerful vacuum deposition technique that creates high-quality thin films and coatings through the chemical reaction of vapor-phase precursors on a heated substrate. This process enables the fabrication of materials with precise composition, structure, and performance characteristics.

In the CVD process:

• Substrates are loaded into the furnace chamber under controlled vacuum or low-pressure atmospheres.
• Gaseous precursors (such as silane, ammonia, or organometallic compounds) are delivered at elevated temperatures.
• The precursors react or thermally decompose at the substrate surface, depositing a solid film while volatile byproducts are removed.
• Key parameters—including temperature, pressure, gas composition, and flow rates—are tightly regulated to tailor film thickness, crystallinity, and properties.

CVD excels over other deposition methods by providing excellent conformal coverage on intricate geometries, high-purity films, and scalability for industrial production—making it essential for cutting-edge technologies.
