Session: Chemical Vapor Deposition I

We invite papers that present recent advances in Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). Topics traditionally covered in this session include: CVD reactor diagnostics and modeling, scale-up issues, equipment development, novel deposition precursors, precursor delivery systems, sensors and process control, gas-phase and surface chemical reaction mechanisms, kinetics, chemically reacting flow simulations, nucleation and growth models. Applications to microelectronics, optoelectronics, thin-film coatings, synthesis of nanowires & nanotubes, and new-material development are welcome. Papers illustrating non-traditional applications of Chemical Engineering to CVD research, materials processing and advances in chemical engineering science through CVD research are especially encouraged.
