Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of thin solid films from gaseous reactants is reviewed. General process considerations such as film thickness, uniformity, and structure are discussed, along with chemical vapor deposition reactor systems. Fundamental issues related to nucleation, thermodynamics, gas-phase chemistry, and surface chemistry are reviewed. Transport phenomena in low-pressure and atmospheric-pressure chemical vapor deposition systems are described and compared with those in other chemically reacting systems. Finally, modeling approaches to the different types of chemical vapor deposition reactors are outlined and illustrated with examples.

Its flexibility a n d r e l a t i v e l y l o w deposition temperatures make C V D attractive for future device applications i n S i and c o m p o u n d - s e m i c o n d u c t o r t e c h n o l ogies. T h e process involves gas-phase a n d surface reactions that m u s t be c o n t r o l l e d to achieve d e s i r e d m a t e r i a l a n d electronic properties. E x c e p t for silane c h e m i s t r y , C V D c h e m i c a l mechanisms a n d kinetics are p o o r l y characterized. C u r r e n t l y , the interest i n u n d e r s t a n d i n g C V D c h e m i s t r y is g r o w i n g , a n d the results w i l l be essential to the future d e v e l o p m e n t of the process. C V D reactors i n v o l v e transport p h e n o m e n a that are analogous to those f o u n d i n o t h e r c h e m i c a l l y reacting systems, specifically heterogeneous catalytic reactors a n d c o m b u s t i o n systems.
