ABSTRACTFilms of silicon nitride have been deposited using a continuous wave CO2 laser to excite gaseous mixtures of silane and ammonia. A typical deposition rate is 150Å/min. The hydrogen film content and its dependence on the substrate deposition temperature are similar to that observed for plasma CVD silicon nitride. The CO2 laser CVD films are silicon rich with a Si/N ratio = 1.2 at a NH3/SiH4 gas flow ratio of 1000. Conformal step coverage is observed on patterned silicon oxide features.

In this work, the effects of equal (50%/50%) or differentiated (75%/25%) gas flow ratio, gas flow rate, and slag thickness on mixing time and open eye area were studied in a physical model of a gas stirred ladle with dual plugs separated by an angle of 180°. The effect of the variables under study was determined using a two-level factorial design. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) was used to establish, through the analysis of the flow patterns and turbulence kinetic energy contours, the effect of the studied variables on the hydrodynamics of the system. Results revealed that differentiated injection ratio significantly changes the flow structure and greatly influences the behavior of the system regarding mixing time and open eye area. The Pareto front of the optimized results on both mixing time and open eye area was obtained through a multi-objective optimization using a genetic algorithm (NSGA-II). The results are conclusive in that the ladle must be operated using differentiated flow ratio for optimal performance.

In this paper, we studied the effects of hydrogen gas flow ratio of [H2]/[N2 + CH4 + H2] on the quality of nanometer diamond (nano-diamond) films prepared by microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition method. Nano-diamond films were deposited on the silicon substrates from a gaseous mixture of nitrogen, methane and hydrogen. The experimental results show that if only using a gaseous mixture of nitrogen and methane, although we can obtain nano-diamond films with a grain size of about 5nm, the diamond films contain much non-diamond components. With hydrogen addition, and with increasing the hydrogen gas flow ratio from 1 to 10%, the non-diamond components in the films are significantly reduced and the grain size of the films increases from 5nm to 60nm. However optical transmittance of the films increases with increasing hydrogen gas flow ratio from 1 to 7% because of an improvement of film quality, and then decreases with further increasing hydrogen gas flow ratio owing to the increase of film roughness.
