Investigation of an upflow cold-wall CVD reactor by gas phase Raman spectroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
The gas phase dynamics of an inverted, stagnation point flow CVD reactor were studied by both experiment and modeling. The axial centerline temperature profile in the reactor was measured by analysis of the rotational Raman spectra from the carrier gas (N or H ) as a function of the inlet flow velocity and the reactor aspect ratio. It was found that a larger temperature gradient 2 2 normal to the susceptor surface was obtained with higher gas flow velocity, larger aspect ratio, and the use of a N carrier gas. 2 A two-dimensional axisymmetric model with detailed heat transfer descriptions predicted the experimental data well. The validated model clearly demonstrates that recirculation flows are less likely in inverted reactor geometry. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Investigation of mass transport phenomena in an upflow cold-wall CVD reactor by gas phase Raman spectroscopy and modeling
Steady and transient mass transport phenomena within an inverted, stagnation-flow, cold-wall CVD reactor were investigated by observing the concentration of a tracer species (CH4) with in situ Raman spectroscopy. The transient studies revealed that the use of matched reactor inlet velocities is crucial to minimize recirculating flow patterns and that the magnitude of the gas velocity is also im...

Pathways for homogeneous thermal decomposition of (C2H5)3Ga (TEGa) were followed using in situ Raman spectroscopy measurements in an up-flow, cold-wall CVD reactor. The results of Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were used to assign measured Raman bands to the decomposition products (Et)3Ga, (DEGa)2, (Et)GaH–Ga(Et)2 and (Et)GaH–GaH2. The results of this study are consistent with bot...
