FAQ

What is a tube furnace?

Laboratory tube furnace is one classic external heating high temperature tube furnace, also named hot wall heating furnace.

According to the different working temperature, furnace tube material usually can be transparent quartz tubes, high purity alumina ceramic tubes and high strength metal alloy tubes.

To meet different thermal researching purposes, tube furnace can be designed with multi heating zones, so as to have a flexible control of temperature gradient in the tube working chamber; furnace tube can work with a controlled atmosphere working environment or a high vacuum working environment.

What is CVD furnace?

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a technology that uses various energy sources such as heating, plasma excitation or light radiation to chemically react gaseous or vapor chemical substances on the gas phase or gas-solid interface to form solid deposits in the reactor by means of chemical reaction.To put it simply, two or more gaseous raw materials are introduced into a reaction chamber, and then they react with each other to form a new material and deposit it on the substrate surface.

CVD furnace is one combined furnace system with high temperature tube furnace unit,gases control unit, and vacuum unit, it is widely used for experiment and production of composite material preparation, microelectronics process, semiconductor optoelectronic, solar energy utilization, optical fiber communication, superconductor technology, protective coating field.

How does a tube furnace work?

Tube furnace heating elements are placed surrounding the cylindrical cavity, furnace can only heat the samples in the cylindrical cavity through indirect thermal radiation, since furnace tube can prevent sample material from contacting with furnace heating elements and insulation materials, so tube furnace creates a clean isolated heat chamber and reduce risks of the sample material contaminating by the furnace.

How does CVD furnace work?

CVD furnace system consists of high temperature tube furnace unit, reacting gas source precise control unit, vacuum pump station and corresponding assembling parts.

Vacuum pump is to remove the air from the reacting tube,and make sure there is no unwanted gases inside the reaction tube, after that the tube furnace will heat the reaction tube to a target temperature, then reacting gas source precise control unit can introduce different gases with a set ratio into the furnace tube for the chemical reaction, the chemical vapor deposition will be formed in the CVD furnace.

What is the basic principle of CVD?

The basic principle of Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) is to expose a substrate to one or more volatile precursors that react or decompose on its surface to produce a thin film deposit. This process can be used for various applications, such as patterning films, insulation materials, and conducting metal layers. CVD is a versatile process that can synthesize coatings, powders, fibers, nanotubes, and monolithic components. It is also capable of producing most of the metal and metal alloys and their compounds, semiconductors, and nonmetal systems. The deposition of a solid on a heated surface from a chemical reaction in the vapor phase characterizes the CVD process.

What is PECVD method?

PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) is a process used in semiconductor manufacturing to deposit thin films on microelectronic devices, photovoltaic cells, and display panels. In PECVD, a precursor is introduced to the reaction chamber in a gaseous state, and the assistance of plasma reactive media dissociates the precursor at much lower temperatures than with CVD. PECVD systems offer excellent film uniformity, low-temperature processing, and high throughput. They are used in a wide range of applications and will play an increasingly important role in the semiconductor industry as the demand for advanced electronic devices continues to grow.

How does PACVD work?

PACVD works by introducing a mixture of precursor gases into a vacuum chamber, where a plasma is generated. The plasma source, typically a radio frequency (RF) generator, energizes the gases, breaking them down into reactive species. These reactive species then react with the substrate surface, forming a thin film coating. The plasma also aids in the activation and cleaning of the substrate, promoting adhesion and improving film properties.

What are the methods used to deposit thin films?

The two main methods used to deposit thin films are chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and physical vapor deposition (PVD). CVD involves introducing reactant gases into a chamber, where they react on the surface of the wafer to form a solid film. PVD does not involve chemical reactions; instead, vapors of constituent materials are created inside the chamber, which then condense on the wafer surface to form a solid film. Common types of PVD include evaporation deposition and sputtering deposition. The three types of evaporation deposition techniques are thermal evaporation, electron-beam evaporation, and inductive heating.

What is the application for tube furnace?

Tubular furnace is mainly used in metallurgy, glass, heat treatment, lithium anode and cathode materials, new energy, abrasives and other industries, and is a professional equipment for measuring materials under certain temperature conditions.

Tube furnace features simple structure, easy operation, easy control and continuous production.

Tube furnace is also widely applied in the CVD (chemical vapor deposition) and plasma enhanced CVD systems.

Which gas is used in CVD process?

There are tremendous gas sources can be used in the CVD process, the common chemical reactions of CVD includes Pyrolysis, photolysis, reduction, oxidation, redox,so the gases involved in these chemical reactions can be used in the CVD process.

We take CVD Graphene growth for an example, the gases used in the CVD process will be CH4,H2,O2 and N2.

What are the different types of CVD method?

The different types of CVD methods include atmospheric pressure CVD (APCVD), low-pressure CVD (LPCVD), ultrahigh vacuum CVD, CVD supported by aerosols, direct liquid injection CVD, hot wall CVD, cold wall CVD, microwave plasma CVD, plasma-enhanced CVD (PECVD), remote plasma-enhanced CVD, low-energy plasma-enhanced CVD, atomic layer CVD, combustion CVD, and hot filament CVD. These methods differ in the mechanism by which chemical reactions are triggered and the operating conditions.

What is PECVD used for?

PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) is widely used in the semiconductor industry to fabricate integrated circuits, as well as in the photovoltaic, tribological, optical, and biomedical fields. It is used to deposit thin films for microelectronic devices, photovoltaic cells, and display panels. PECVD can produce unique compounds and films that cannot be created by common CVD techniques alone, and films that demonstrate high solvent and corrosion resistance with chemical and thermal stability. It is also used to produce homogenous organic and inorganic polymers over large surfaces, and Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) for tribological applications.

PACVD is PECVD?

Yes, PACVD (plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition) is another term for PECVD (plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition). This process uses an energetic plasma formed in an electric field to activate the CVD reaction at lower temperatures than thermal CVD, making it ideal for substrates or deposited films with a low thermal budget. By varying the plasma, additional control can be added to the properties of the deposited film. Most PECVD processes are conducted at low pressure to stabilize the discharge plasma.

What is thin film deposition equipment?

Thin film deposition equipment refers to the tools and methods used to create and deposit thin film coatings onto a substrate material. These coatings can be made of various materials and have different characteristics that can improve or alter the substrate's performance. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) is a popular technique that involves vaporizing a solid material in a vacuum, then depositing it onto a substrate. Other methods include evaporation and sputtering. Thin film deposition equipment is used in the production of opto-electronic devices, medical implants, and precision optics, among others.

How many different types tube furnace?

Tube furnace can work with different mechanical functions smoothly, so there are many different types tube furnace variations for different experiment purposes, typical furnace furnaces are as below:

  • Horizontal tube furnace
  • Vertical tube furnace
  • Split tube furnace
  • Rotary tube furnace
  • Tilting tube furnace
  • Sliding tube furnace
  • Fast heating and cooling tube furnace
  • Continuous feeding and discharging tube furnace

What is the advantage of CVD system?

  • Wide range of films can be produced, metal film, nonmetal film and multi-component alloy film as required. At the same time, it can prepare high-quality crystals that are difficult to obtain by other methods, such as GaN, BP, etc.
  • The film forming speed is fast, usually several microns per minute or even hundreds of microns per minute. It is possible to simultaneously deposit large quantities of coatings with uniform composition, which is incomparable to other film preparation methods, such as liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE).
  • The working conditions are carried out under normal pressure or low vacuum conditions, so the coating has good diffraction, and the workpieces with complex shapes can be uniformly coated, which is much superior to PVD.
  • Due to the mutual diffusion of reaction gas, reaction product and substrate, a coating with good adhesion strength can be obtained, which is crucial for preparing surface strengthened films such as wear-resistant and anti-corrosion films.
  • Some films grow at a temperature far lower than the melting point of the film material. Under the condition of low temperature growth, the reaction gas and reactor wall and impurities contained in them almost do not react, so a film with high purity and good crystallinity can be obtained.
  • Chemical vapor deposition can obtain a smooth deposition surface. This is because compared with LPE, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is carried out under high saturation, with high nucleation rate, high nucleation density, and uniform distribution on the whole plane, resulting in a macroscopic smooth surface. At the same time, in chemical vapor deposition, the average free path of molecules (atoms) is much larger than LPE, so the spatial distribution of molecules is more uniform, which is conducive to the formation of a smooth deposition surface.
  • Low radiation damage, which is a necessary condition for manufacturing metal oxide semiconductors (MOS) and other devices

What are the advantages of using chemical vapor deposition machines?

Chemical vapor deposition machines offer several advantages in thin film deposition. They allow for precise control over the film's properties, such as thickness, composition, and uniformity. CVD can deposit films over large areas and complex shapes, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The technique enables the deposition of a variety of materials, including metals, semiconductors, ceramics, and organic compounds. CVD films can exhibit excellent adhesion, purity, and conformality to the substrate surface. Additionally, CVD machines can operate at relatively low temperatures, reducing thermal stress on the substrate and enabling deposition on temperature-sensitive materials.

What are the advantages of PECVD?

Additionally, tube furnaces are energy-efficient, as they typically have good insulation and can reach high temperatures quickly. Some models also offer programmable temperature profiles, allowing for automated heating and cooling cycles. Overall, tube furnaces enable efficient and controlled high-temperature processes in various scientific and industrial fields.

What does PECVD stand for?

PECVD is a technology that uses plasma to activate reaction gas, promote chemical reaction on the surface of substrate or near surface space, and generate solid film. The basic principle of plasma chemical vapor deposition technology is that under the action of RF or DC electric field, the source gas is ionized to form a plasma, the low-temperature plasma is used as the energy source, an appropriate amount of reaction gas is introduced, and the plasma discharge is used to activate the reaction gas and realize chemical vapor deposition.

According to the method of generating plasma, it can be divided into RF plasma, DC plasma and microwave plasma CVD, etc...

What are the applications of chemical vapor deposition machines?

Chemical vapor deposition machines find applications in various industries and research fields. In the semiconductor industry, CVD is used to deposit thin films for integrated circuits, such as silicon dioxide and silicon nitride. CVD is also employed in the production of thin film solar cells, where materials like cadmium telluride or copper indium gallium selenide are deposited. Other applications include the deposition of protective coatings, such as diamond-like carbon films, wear-resistant coatings, and anti-reflective coatings. CVD is also utilized in the production of optical coatings, such as thin films for mirrors, filters, and waveguides.

What is the difference between ALD and PECVD?

ALD is a thin film deposition process that allows for atomic layer thickness resolution, excellent uniformity of high aspect ratio surfaces and pinhole-free layers. This is achieved by the continuous formation of atomic layers in a self-limiting reaction. PECVD, on the other hand, involves mixing the source material with one or more volatile precursors using a plasma to chemically interact and breakdown the source material. The processes use heat with higher pressures leading to a more reproducible film where the film thicknesses could be managed by time/power. These films are more stoichiometric, denser and are capable of growing higher quality insulator films.

What are the common applications of PACVD?

PACVD has a wide range of applications in industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, and biomedical. It is commonly used for the deposition of wear-resistant and decorative coatings on cutting tools, engine components, and automotive parts. PACVD is also utilized for the production of barrier coatings on electronic devices to enhance corrosion resistance and improve performance. In the biomedical field, PACVD coatings are applied to medical implants to promote biocompatibility and reduce wear. Additionally, PACVD is employed in the optical industry for the deposition of anti-reflective and scratch-resistant coatings on lenses and displays.

What are the advantages of using thin film deposition equipment?

Thin film deposition equipment offers several advantages in various industries and research fields. It enables precise control over film properties such as thickness, composition, and structure, allowing for tailored materials with specific functionalities. Thin films can be deposited over large areas, complex shapes, and different substrate materials. The deposition process can be optimized to achieve high uniformity, adhesion, and purity of the films.

Adequate ventilation should be provided to remove any potential gases or fumes generated during heating. It is also important to regularly inspect and maintain the furnace, including checking the heating elements and electrical connections, to ensure safe and reliable operation.

What is the difference between CVD and PECVD?

The difference between PECVD and traditional CVD technology is that the plasma contains a large number of high-energy electrons, which can provide the activation energy required in the chemical vapor deposition process, thus changing the energy supply mode of the reaction system. Since the electron temperature in the plasma is as high as 10000K, the collision between electrons and gas molecules can promote the chemical bond breaking and recombination of the reaction gas molecules to generate more active chemical groups, while the whole reaction system maintains a lower temperature.

So compared to the CVD process, PECVD can carry out the same chemical vapor deposition process with a lower temperature.

What factors should be considered when selecting a chemical vapor deposition machine?
