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

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 factors should be considered when selecting a vacuum hot press furnace?

When selecting a vacuum hot press furnace, several factors need to be considered. Firstly, the size and capacity of the furnace should align with the intended application and production requirements. The furnace should accommodate the size and number of samples or components to be processed. The heating and pressure capabilities of the furnace should also be evaluated to ensure they meet the desired temperature and pressure conditions. It is important to consider the level of automation and control systems available, as well as the compatibility with specific materials and processes. Additionally, the reliability, service support, and overall cost of ownership should be assessed. Consulting with manufacturers and experts in the field can help in selecting the most suitable vacuum hot press furnace for specific processing needs.

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 are the advantages of using vacuum arc melting furnaces?

Vacuum arc melting furnaces also offer flexibility in terms of the size and shape of the melted metal, as the consumable electrode can be easily replaced or modified. Additionally, the process allows for the selective removal of impurities, such as gases and non-metallic inclusions, further enhancing the purity and quality of the final melted metal.

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.
