Plasma chemical vapor deposition

  • Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) is a chemical vapor deposition process

used to deposit thin films from a gas state (vapor) to a solid state on a substrate.

Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) is a chemical vapor deposition process used to
deposit thin films from a gas state (vapor) to a solid state on a substrate. Chemical reactions are involved in the process, which occur after creation of a plasma of the reacting gases. The plasma is generally created by radio frequency (RF) (alternating current (AC)) frequency or direct current (DC) discharge between two electrodes, the space between which is filled with the reacting gases.
