Title: Chemical vapor deposition for microelectronics: Principles, technology, and applications

Book ·
OSTI ID:7247367

This book presents study of chemical vapor deposition (CVD). CVD is an inherently interdisciplinary field. Its understanding requires knowledge of fluid mechanics, plasma physics, chemical thermodynamics and kinetics, as well as homogeneous and heterogenous chemical reactions. The newest developments in this rapidly changing field are described. After the basics of thermal and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition are covered in the first two chapters, the next three chapters deal with the many diverse films used in semiconductor fabrication that can be deposited by this technique. Because of the importance of commercially-viable reactors for film deposition, many well-known and widely-used deposition systems are described. Finally, the physical and chemical nature of these films is analyzed.
