Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD)
Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) is a technique used to produce thin films of materials, particularly semiconductors. In this process, metal-organic compounds are vaporized and transported to a substrate, where they decompose to form a solid layer. This method is essential for creating high-quality materials used in electronic and optoelectronic devices.
MOCVD is widely employed in the production of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), solar cells, and laser diodes. The ability to control the thickness and composition of the films makes MOCVD a valuable tool in the semiconductor industry, enabling advancements in technology and performance.
