The parameters for metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) processes significantly influence the properties of ZnO films, especially the flow stability of the chamber, which is caused by process parameters such as the shape of reaction chamber, the working pressure, the growth temperature, the susceptor rotational speed, the gas flow rate, and the nature of the carrier gas at inlet temperature. These parameters are the preconditions for the formation of high-quality film. Therefore, this study uses Ar as a carrier gas, diethylzinc (DEZn) as a Zn source, and H2O as an oxygen source and adopts the reaction mechanism calculated by quantum chemistry, which includes ten gas reactions and eight surface reactions. The process parameters of a specific reaction chamber model were analyzed based on the computational fluid dynamics method. This study also presents an accurate prediction of the flow regime in the reactor chamber under any operating conditions, without additional experiments, based on an analysis of a great quantity of simulation data. Such research is also significant for selecting the growth parameters relevant to production, providing a specific process growth window, narrowing the debugging scope, and providing a theoretical basis for the development of MOCVD equipment and process debugging.

Superconducting oxide films of YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) were produced on magnesia (MgO) single crystalline substrates (100) by laser-assisted metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. The highly volatile Ba(hfa)2 · tetraglyme was used as a Ba source metal-organic material. Smoother surface YBCO film was obtained with KrF laser irradiation than without. However, KrF laser irradiation does not lower the temperature for formation of YBCO(123) phase. YBCO film prepared at 750 °C on the MgO substrate showed a Tc(R = 0) of 69 K, and that prepared with KrF laser irradiation was 85 K. When water was added to the reaction chamber, barium fluoride was reduced and the YBCO formation was detected at a temperature of 650 °C and higher. YBCO film prepared at the temperature of 700 °C for 40 min without KrF laser irradiation behaves as a semiconductor, and one prepared with laser irradiation showed a Tc(R = 0) of 78 K.

Titanium dioxide ( TiO 2) thin films are prepared on glass substrates by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) method using the different organic solvents, e.g. ethanol or cyclohexane, in nitrogen carrier gas with different their concentrations. We reported the effects of the each organic solvent in the carrier gas for MOCVD method on the morphology of the composed particles, the thickness, the surface roughness, and the transparency of the prepared TiO 2 thin films with changing the deposition temperature. The morphology of the particles which compose the thin films, and the surface roughness of the prepared TiO 2 thin films are observed and measured by atomic force microscope (AFM) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The film thickness is measured by fluorescent X-ray spectroscopy (XRF), and the transparency of the films is confirmed by UV-vis spectroscopy. The transparencies of the TiO 2 thin films differ depending on the MOCVD conditions, e.g. the organic solvents species, the concentration of the container in the carrier gas and the deposition temperatures. We have found that the species and the concentration of the organic solvents in the carrier gas are very important factor to prepare homogeneous TiO 2 thin films by MOCVD method; cyclohexane inhibits to aggregate of the TiO 2 nanoparticles on the glass substrate during the MOCVD process.
