FAQ

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.

What is Physical vapor deposition (PVD)?

Physical vapor deposition (PVD) is a technique for depositing thin films by vaporizing a solid material in a vacuum and then depositing it onto a substrate. PVD coatings are highly durable, scratch-resistant, and corrosion-resistant, making them ideal for a variety of applications, from solar cells to semiconductors. PVD also creates thin films that can withstand high temperatures. However, PVD can be costly, and the cost varies depending on the method used. For instance, evaporation is a low-cost PVD method, while ion beam sputtering is rather expensive. Magnetron sputtering, on the other hand, is more expensive but more scalable.

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 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 RF PECVD?

RF PECVD stands for radio-frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, which is a technique used to prepare polycrystalline films on a substrate by using glow discharge plasma to influence the process while low pressure chemical vapor deposition is taking place. The RF PECVD method is well established for standard silicon-integrated-circuit technology, where typically flat wafers are used as the substrates. This method is advantageous due to the possibility of low-cost film fabrication and high efficiency of deposition. Materials can also be deposited as graded-refractive-index films or as a stack of nano-films each with different 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.

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 is magnetron sputtering?

Magnetron sputtering is a plasma-based coating technique used to produce very dense films with excellent adhesion, making it a versatile method for creating coatings on materials that have high melting points and cannot be evaporated. This method generates a magnetically confined plasma near the surface of a target, where positively charged energetic ions collide with the negatively charged target material, causing atoms to be ejected or "sputtered." These ejected atoms are then deposited on a substrate or wafer to create the desired coating.

What is Mpcvd?

MPCVD stands for Microwave Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition and it is a process of depositing thin films onto a surface. It uses a vacuum chamber, microwave generator, and gas delivery system to create a plasma made up of reacting chemicals and necessary catalysts. MPCVD is heavily used in the ANFF network to deposit layers of diamond using methane and hydrogen to grow new diamond on a diamond-seeded substrate. It is a promising technology for producing low-cost, high-quality large diamonds and is extensively used in the semiconductor and diamond cutting industry.

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.

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.

How does RF PECVD work?

RF PECVD works by creating a plasma in a vacuum chamber. The precursor gas is introduced into the chamber, and radio frequency power is applied to create an electric field. This electric field results in the ionization of the precursor gas, forming a plasma. The plasma contains reactive species that can chemically react with the substrate surface, leading to the deposition of a thin film. The RF power also helps to control the energy of the plasma, allowing for better control over film properties such as composition, uniformity, and adhesion. The process parameters, such as gas flow rates, pressure, and RF power, can be adjusted to optimize the film deposition process.

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.

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.

Why magnetron sputtering?

Magnetron sputtering is preferred due to its ability to achieve high precision in film thickness and density of coatings, surpassing evaporation methods. This technique is especially suitable for creating metallic or insulating coatings with specific optical or electrical properties. Additionally, magnetron sputtering systems can be configured with multiple magnetron sources.

What is Mpcvd machine?

The MPCVD (Microwave Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition) machine is a laboratory equipment used to grow high-quality diamond films. It uses a carbon-containing gas and a microwave plasma to create a plasma ball above the diamond substrate, which heats it to a specific temperature. The plasma ball doesn't contact the cavity wall, making the diamond growth process free from impurities and enhancing the diamond's quality. The MPCVD system consists of a vacuum chamber, a microwave generator, and a gas delivery system that controls the flow of gas into the chamber.

What are the advantages of PECVD?

The primary advantages of PECVD are its ability to operate at lower deposition temperatures, providing better conformity and step coverage on uneven surfaces, tighter control of the thin film process, and high deposition rates. PECVD allows for successful applications in situations where conventional CVD temperatures could potentially damage the device or substrate being coated. By operating at a lower temperature, PECVD creates less stress between thin film layers, allowing for high-efficiency electrical performance and bonding to very high standards.

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 RF PECVD?

RF PECVD offers several advantages for thin film deposition. Firstly, it allows for the deposition of high-quality films with excellent control over film properties such as thickness, composition, and uniformity. The use of a plasma enhances the reactivity of the process, enabling the deposition of films at lower temperatures compared to traditional thermal CVD methods. RF PECVD also offers better step coverage, allowing for the deposition of films in high aspect ratio structures. Another advantage is the ability to deposit a wide range of materials, including silicon nitride, silicon dioxide, amorphous silicon, and various other thin film materials. The process is highly scalable and can be easily integrated into existing manufacturing processes. Additionally, RF PECVD is a relatively cost-effective method compared to other thin film deposition techniques.

What is thin-film deposition technology?

Thin film deposition technology is the process of applying a very thin film of material, ranging in thickness from a few nanometers to 100 micrometers, onto a substrate surface or onto previously deposited coatings. This technology is used in the production of modern electronics, including semiconductors, optical devices, solar panels, CDs, and disk drives. The two broad categories of thin film deposition are chemical deposition, where a chemical change produces a chemically deposited coating, and physical vapor deposition, where a material is released from a source and deposited on a substrate using mechanical, electromechanical, or thermodynamic processes.

What are the advantages of using PACVD?

PACVD offers several advantages in thin film coating applications. Firstly, the use of plasma allows for lower process temperatures compared to other deposition methods, reducing thermal stress on the substrate. PACVD also enables precise control over the coating composition and structure, allowing for tailored film properties. The plasma enhances the reactivity of the precursor gases, resulting in improved film quality, density, and adhesion. Additionally, PACVD can be used to deposit coatings on complex shapes and delicate materials, making it versatile for various industries.

What are the materials used in thin film deposition?

Thin film deposition commonly utilizes metals, oxides, and compounds as materials, each with its unique advantages and disadvantages. Metals are preferred for their durability and ease of deposition but are relatively expensive. Oxides are highly durable, can withstand high temperatures, and can be deposited at low temperatures, but can be brittle and challenging to work with. Compounds offer strength and durability, can be deposited at low temperatures and tailored to exhibit specific properties.

The selection of material for a thin film coating is dependent on the application requirements. Metals are ideal for thermal and electrical conduction, while oxides are effective in offering protection. Compounds can be tailored to suit specific needs. Ultimately, the best material for a particular project will depend on the specific needs of the application.

What are the advantages of Mpcvd?

MPCVD has several advantages over other methods of diamond production, such as higher purity, less energy consumption, and the ability to produce larger diamonds.

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 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 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. Additionally, thin film deposition equipment can operate at relatively low temperatures, reducing thermal stress on the substrate and enabling deposition on temperature-sensitive materials. Thin films find applications in fields such as electronics, optics, energy, coatings, and biomedical devices, offering enhanced performance, protection, or functionality.

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 methods to achieve optimal thin film deposition?

To achieve thin films with desirable properties, high-quality sputtering targets and evaporation materials are essential. The quality of these materials can be influenced by various factors, such as purity, grain size, and surface condition.

The purity of sputtering targets or evaporation materials plays a crucial role, as impurities can cause defects in the resulting thin film. Grain size also affects the quality of the thin film, with larger grains leading to poor film properties. Additionally, the surface condition is crucial, since rough surfaces can result in defects in the film.

To attain the highest quality sputtering targets and evaporation materials, it is crucial to select materials that possess high purity, small grain size, and smooth surfaces.

Thin-Film Solar Cells

Thin-film solar cells are essential to the solar energy industry, enabling the production of relatively cheap and clean electricity. Photovoltaic systems and thermal energy are the two main applicable technologies.

Are CVD diamonds real or fake?

CVD diamonds are real diamonds and not fake. They are grown in a laboratory through a process called Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). Unlike natural diamonds that are mined from under the earth's surface, CVD diamonds are created using advanced technology in labs. These diamonds are 100% carbon and are the purest form of diamonds known as Type IIa diamonds. They have the same optical, thermal, physical, and chemical properties as natural diamonds. The only difference is that CVD diamonds are created in a lab and not mined from the earth.

What is the difference between PECVD and sputtering?

PECVD and sputtering are both physical vapor deposition techniques used for thin film deposition. PECVD is a diffusive gas-driven process that yields very high-quality thin films while sputtering is a line-of-sight deposition. PECVD allows for better coverage on uneven surfaces such as trenches, walls, and high conformity and can produce unique compounds and films. On the other hand, sputtering is good for the deposition of fine layers of several materials, ideal for creating multi-layered and multi-graduated coating systems. PECVD is mainly used in the semiconductor industry, tribological, optical, and biomedical fields while sputtering is mostly used for dielectric materials and tribological applications.

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 thin film deposition equipment?

Several factors should be considered when selecting thin film deposition equipment. The technique (PVD, CVD, ALD, MBE) should align with the desired film properties and the specific material being deposited. The size and configuration of the deposition chamber should accommodate the substrate size and shape requirements. The equipment's capabilities in terms of film thickness control, uniformity, and deposition rate should meet the application needs. Considerations should also include the availability and compatibility of precursor materials or target sources for the desired film composition. Other factors to consider are the ease of operation, maintenance requirements, vacuum system reliability, and any additional features such as in situ monitoring or control options. Consulting with experts or manufacturers can provide valuable guidance in selecting the most suitable thin film deposition equipment for a specific application.

Factors and Parameters that Influence Deposition of Thin Films

Deposition Rate:

The rate at which the film is produced, typically measured in thickness divided by time, is crucial for selecting a technology suitable for the application. Moderate deposition rates are sufficient for thin films, while quick deposition rates are necessary for thick films. It is important to strike a balance between speed and precise film thickness control.

Uniformity:

The consistency of the film across the substrate is known as uniformity, which usually refers to film thickness but can also relate to other properties such as the index of refraction. It is important to have a good understanding of the application to avoid under- or over-specifying uniformity.

Fill Capability:

Fill capability or step coverage refers to how well the deposition process covers the substrate's topography. The deposition method used (e.g., CVD, PVD, IBD, or ALD) has a significant impact on step coverage and fill.

Film Characteristics:

The characteristics of the film depend on the application's requirements, which can be categorized as photonic, optical, electronic, mechanical, or chemical. Most films must meet requirements in more than one category.

Process Temperature:

Film characteristics are significantly affected by process temperature, which may be limited by the application.

Damage:

Each deposition technology has the potential to damage the material being deposited upon, with smaller features being more susceptible to process damage. Pollution, UV radiation, and ion bombardment are among the potential sources of damage. It is crucial to understand the limitations of the materials and tools.

What safety considerations are associated with operating thin film deposition equipment?

Operating thin film deposition equipment requires certain safety considerations to ensure the well-being of operators and prevent potential hazards.
