Materials used in CVD coating include a variety of compounds and forms such as carbides, nitrides, oxynitrides, silicon-oxygen-germanium compositions, carbon in forms like fluorocarbons, diamond, polymers, graphene, fibers/nanofibers/nanotubes, Ti, and W. These materials can be deposited in different microstructures including monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and amorphous.
Carbides, Nitrides, and Oxynitrides: These materials are commonly used in CVD processes due to their high hardness and thermal stability, making them suitable for applications requiring wear and corrosion resistance. For example, titanium nitride (TiN) and tungsten carbide (WC) are often used in cutting tools and wear-resistant coatings.
Silicon-Oxygen-Germanium (Si-O-Ge) Compositions: These materials are used in electronics for their semiconductor properties. The CVD process allows for precise control over the composition and thickness of these layers, which is crucial for the performance of electronic devices.
Carbon Forms: CVD is used to deposit various forms of carbon including fluorocarbons, diamond, polymers, graphene, and carbon nanotubes. Each of these materials has unique properties: fluorocarbons are known for their low friction and non-stick properties; diamond for its extreme hardness and thermal conductivity; polymers for their flexibility and electrical insulation; graphene for its high electrical conductivity and strength; and carbon nanotubes for their exceptional strength and electrical properties.
Metals like Ti and W: Titanium (Ti) and tungsten (W) are used in CVD for their strength and resistance to corrosion. These metals are often used in aerospace and medical applications where durability and biocompatibility are critical.
Microstructures: The microstructure of the deposited material can be controlled through the CVD process parameters. Monocrystalline structures are highly ordered and are used in applications requiring high electrical conductivity and transparency. Polycrystalline structures are more common and are used in a wide range of applications due to their good mechanical and electrical properties. Amorphous structures lack long-range order and are often used where flexibility and transparency are required.
Applications: The versatility of CVD allows it to be used in a wide range of applications including biomedical device implants, circuit boards, durable lubricious coatings, and high-performance electronics. The ability to deposit thin films from nanometers to microns allows for precise control over the properties of the final product, making CVD a critical technology in modern manufacturing.
