Reactor Design for Thermal CVD

  • Srinivasan Sivaram
Chapter

Abstract

Classical reactor design requires the application of the principles of heat, mass, and momentum transfer for the efficient conversion of reactants to products. We will treat this subject with a narrower focus: thin films with desired properties from gaseous sources. Such a discussion may be insufficient for the design of a commercial reactor from first principles. However, for the modification of an existing reactor for the purpose of tailoring film properties or for the construction of laboratory prototypes, this discussion will be adequate.
