Handbook of chemical vapor depostion [i.e. deposition] (CVD) : principles, technology, and applications

Turn to this new second edition for an understanding of the latest advances in the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. CVD technology has recently grown at a rapid rate, and the number and scope of its applications and their impact on the market have increased considerably. The market is now estimated to be at least double that of a mere seven years ago when the first edition of this book was published. The second edition is an update with a considerably expanded and revised scope. Plasma CVD and metallo-organic CVD are two major factors in this rapid growth. Readers will find the latest data on both processes in this volume. Likewise, the book explains the growing importance of CVD in production of semiconductor and related applications. "Since the publication of the first edition of the Handbook of Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) in early 1992, the technology has developed at a rapid rate and the number and scope of its applications and their impact of the market have increased considerably. This process is now a key factor in many industries such as semiconductors, optoelectronics, optics, cutting tools, refractory fibers, filters and many others. The size of the CVD market today (1999) is estimated to be at least double that of the market seven years ago. This second edition of the Handbook is an update with a considerably expanded and revised scope."--BOOK JACKET. Offers an understanding of the advances in the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) process. This book features data on both Plasma CVD and metallo-organic CVD processes. It also explains growing importance of CVD in production of semiconductor and related applications.
