Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD).


Book Description

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) refers to a vacuum deposition method used to produce high quality, high-performance, solid materials in a variety of manufacturing industries. Chapter One provides a critical review of published experimental data for thin films of silicon nitride deposited by thermal and plasma CVD, plasma CVD, high density plasma CVD, atomic layer-by-layer deposition, and hot-wire CVD. Chapter Two describes several aspects of the use of CVD for single-crystal diamond synthesis for electronics. Chapter Three describes the properties of graphene and its preparation by a number of methods with a focus on the classical CVD method on copper foil together with graphene transfer onto a dielectric substrate.




Handbook of Industrial Diamonds


Book Description

Diamond's supreme properties can be realized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of diamond films with many applications, such as cutting tools, tweeter diaphragms, deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes, radomes, CPU transistors, quantum computer, and MEMs. This volume provides extensive reviews on various CVD methods with examples. Meanwhile, there are other forms of carbon coatings, including diamond-like carbon, carbon nanotubes, and graphene. These carbon coatings possess properties derived from diamond. For example, graphene is actually flattened diamond’s (111) face with superb electrical and thermal conductivities. For the first time, this book reveals a catalytic method to grow single-crystal graphene, whose applications are expected in heat spreaders, battery electrodes, interconnected circuits, and 6G antennae.
