MOCVD (Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition)

MOCVD, or Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition, is a method used to grow thin layers of materials, like semiconductors, onto surfaces. In this process, metal-organic compounds are delivered as gases into a reactor chamber, where they decompose under controlled heat. This causes the metal atoms to deposit onto a substrate, forming precise, high-quality layers essential for electronics like LEDs and solar cells. MOCVD allows for accurate control over layer composition and thickness, making it a vital technique in advanced device manufacturing.
