A comprehensive multiphysics, multiphase model of carbon nanotube (CNT) fabrication process by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is utilized to study the effects of several physical phenomena inside the quartz tube. The investigations include fluid flow properties, temperature profile and heat transfer as well as diffusion and concentration of carbon species along the substrate. These properties are examined in a great detail for a horizontally placed substrate. For each physical property, the effects of substrate dislocation as well as the angle between substrate and reactor chamber longitudinal axis are investigated. It is shown that the temperature in the gas phase reactions region is significantly lower compared to the temperature profile around the substrate. Based on the obtained results, two new CVD system designs are proposed to enhance the temperature in the reactor chamber section where gas phase reactions take place. Moreover, it is shown that substrate dislocation and angle change result in physical property change such as species concentration on upper and lower substrate surfaces. This study is also applicable to other CVD-based fabrication process such as deposition of any layer, since the methodology of the fabrication process remains the same.

AbstractLaser photolysis, optical emission, and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) were used to investigate laser driven decomposition processes in the gas phase pertaining to the systems: SiH4 → Si (s) and SiH4 → NH3 → Si3N4 (s). These processes are important to silicon/ silicon-nitride chemical vapor deposition, flame-driven gas phase silicon-particle nucleation, and laser-induced processes for materials fabrication. UV laser photolysis was used to generate SiHx and NHx species from silane and ammonia. A number of photofragments were identified by emission from excited states. The rate of reaction of NH2 with silane was measured using LIF to detect NH2 as a function of time following photolysis of ammonia

Germanium and doped-germanium polycrystalline films were formed with the use of photolytic CO2 laser-induced chemical vapor deposition. The compounds which yielded germanium in large quantities were germane, ethylgermane, and diethylgermane. Triethylgermane produces germanium in trace quantities. Gas-phase reactions were monitored with the use of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, also used for identification of end products. Scanning electron microscopy was used for analysis of the films. The products identified on irradiation of germane were germanium and hydrogen, with conversion rates of 86%. On irradiation of diethylgermane and ethylgermane, ethylene, germane, germanium, and hydrogen were produced. Germanium films doped with cadmium and aluminum were produced successfully by the irradiation of germane mixtures containing dimethylcadmium or trimethylaluminum, respectively.
