Rotating Deposition System – Advanced CVD Solution for Uniform Thin Film Growth
Overview
The Rotating Deposition System is a high-performance Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) platform designed for the precise, uniform growth of thin films on substrates in research and industrial applications. Featuring a rotating furnace design, this system ensures excellent temperature uniformity and film thickness consistency across large or complex-shaped samples—ideal for semiconductor, optoelectronic, and advanced materials development.
Built with modular components including vacuum tube furnaces, multi-channel gas delivery systems, and PID-controlled heating circuits, our rotating deposition system supports a wide range of CVD processes such as silicon dioxide (SiO₂) deposition, ZnO nanostructure growth, MLCC atmosphere sintering, and more.
How It Works: Principles of Rotating CVD
In traditional vertical or horizontal CVD systems, temperature gradients and gas flow non-uniformities can lead to inconsistent film thickness, especially on larger wafers or irregular substrates.
Our rotating deposition technology addresses these challenges by:
- Continuous Rotation: The sample holder rotates during deposition, ensuring uniform exposure to precursor gases.
- Even Gas Distribution: Combined with optimized gas injection ports, rotation promotes homogeneous mixing and surface reaction.
- Precise Temperature Control: Integrated PID control maintains ±1°C stability, minimizing thermal stress and defects.
- Vacuum Compatibility: Operates under controlled pressure conditions (from atmospheric to high vacuum), enabling low-temperature, high-purity depositions.
This design enables high-quality, reproducible thin films with minimal grain boundaries and superior adhesion.
