Abstract
A chemical vapor deposition system comprises a reactor including at least one wall extending between an inlet end and an outlet end, and an internal volume defined by the at least one wall, the inlet end, and the outlet end. The reactor further comprises a heat source in thermal communication with the internal volume, and a solid precursor container removably placed within the internal volume. The solid precursor container includes at least one internal cavity for holding an amount of the solid precursor, and an opening fluidly connecting the at least one internal cavity to the internal volume of the reactor. The solid precursor comprises at least one of aluminum, zirconium, hafnium, and a rare earth metallic element.
Claims12
A chemical vapor deposition system comprising:
- a reactor comprising;
- at least one wall extending between an inlet end and an outlet end;
- and
- an internal volume defined by the at least one wall, the inlet end, and the outlet end;
- a heat source in thermal communication with the internal volume;
- and
- a solid precursor container removably placed within the internal volume, wherein the solid precursor container is a tooling for at least partially enclosing a substrate, the solid precursor container comprising:
- a first plate comprising a first internal cavity configured to hold an amount of a solid precursor and a first opening fluidly connecting the first internal cavity to the internal volume of the reactor;
- and
- a second plate, wherein the first plate and the second plate are configured to at least partially enclose the substrate therebetween,
- wherein each of the first plate and the second plate further comprises a plurality of apertures extending fully through a thickness of the respective first plate and second plate, each aperture open to the internal volume at a first end and open to face the substrate at a second end opposite the first end.
