Comments:
  • Low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) is performed in a reactor at temperatures up to ~800 degC. The deposited film is a product of a chemical reaction between the source gases supplied to the reactor. The process is typically performed on both sides of the substrate at the same time.
