  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Cadmium based II-VI Semiconducting Nanomaterials

Part of the book series: Topics in Mining, Metallurgy and Materials Engineering ((TMMME))

Abstract

Vapor deposition synthesis is a family of coating techniques which is utilized to fabricate thin films of a wide range of materials on any substrate. The vapor phase methods involve different strategies and working mechanism on the basis of which these are categorized into physical vapor deposition (PVD) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD).
