Areas of application. Future prospects
Chemical deposits from the gas phase

The main areas of application for the CVD process can be divided into two categories, depending on whether the product formed is a coating (or layer) on a substrate, or a solid product independent of a substrate.

Thick coatings or thin layers can be obtained :

• protection against mechanical wear ;

• protection against high-temperature corrosion and oxidation;

• production of components for optics and electronics;

• etc.
