How should CVD be selected?

When selecting a CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) furnace, multiple factors need to be considered to ensure that it meets specific process requirements. Here are some key selection steps and considerations:

Determine process requirements:
Sedimentary materials: Clearly define the types of materials that need to be deposited, such as metals, ceramics, semiconductors, etc.
Sedimentation temperature: Understand the required deposition temperature range in order to select a CVD furnace that can withstand the corresponding temperature.
Sedimentation atmosphere: Determine the required atmosphere during the deposition process, such as nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, etc., as well as the purity requirements of the atmosphere.
Deposition rate and uniformity: Determine the required deposition rate and film uniformity according to process requirements.

Furnace type selection:
Horizontal CVD furnace: suitable for deposition processes with large areas and high uniformity requirements.
Vertical CVD furnace: suitable for small area and high-precision deposition processes.
Other special furnace types: Select suitable furnace types according to specific process requirements, such as rotary, multi-source, etc.

Heating method and temperature control:
Heating methods: Common heating methods include resistance heating, radiation heating, microwave heating, etc. Choose a suitable heating method to ensure temperature uniformity and stability inside the furnace.
Temperature control: Choose a high-precision and stable temperature control system to ensure precise temperature control during the deposition process.

Vacuum system:
Vacuum degree: Select the appropriate vacuum degree according to the process requirements to ensure that the deposition process is not affected by impurities.
Vacuum pump: Select a vacuum pump that is suitable for the process requirements, such as mechanical pump, molecular pump, etc.

Gas supply system:
Gas type and purity: Select the appropriate gas type and purity according to the process requirements.
Gas flow meter: Choose a high-precision and stable gas flow meter to ensure precise control of gas flow rate.

Furnace material and structure:
Furnace material: Choose materials that are resistant to high temperature, corrosion, and good thermal conductivity, such as quartz, stainless steel, corundum, etc.
Furnace structure: Ensure a compact and well sealed furnace structure to reduce heat loss and impurity entry.

Control system and automation level:
Control system: Choose a control system that is easy to operate and has complete functions to meet different process requirements.
Automation level: Select an appropriate level of automation based on actual needs to improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs.

Cost and budget:
Evaluate the price and performance of different models of CVD furnaces, and choose products with high cost-effectiveness.
Select the appropriate CVD furnace according to the budget to ensure a return on investment.

Manufacturer and brand:
Choose manufacturers and brands with rich experience and good reputation to ensure the quality of equipment and after-sales service.
