  • Patent number: 11371135
    Abstract: A chemical vapor deposition method comprises flowing a carrier liquid through a reactor. A fluid comprising one or more reactants is introduced into the carrier liquid. The fluid is at a first temperature and first pressure and is sufficiently immiscible in the carrier liquid so as to form a plurality of microreactors suspended in the carrier liquid. Each of the microreactors comprise a discrete volume of the fluid and have a surface boundary defined by an interface of the fluid with the carrier liquid. The fluid is heated and optionally pressurized to a second temperature and second pressure at which a chemical vapor deposition reaction occurs within the microreactors to form a plurality of chemical vapor deposition products. The plurality of chemical vapor deposition products are separated from the carrier liquid. A system for carrying out the method of the present disclosure is also taught.

  • Patent number: 10006123
    Abstract: A method for chemical vapor deposition on a substrate is disclosed. The method may include directing a process gas into a reaction chamber, and heating the process gas in the reaction chamber. Heating the process gas in the reaction chamber may decompose the process gas to thereby generate a plurality of decomposition products. The method may also include applying one or more biasing fields and/or waves to the process gas upstream of the substrate, and reacting the process gas with the substrate. The one or more biasing fields and/or waves may include electromagnetic waves, electric fields, and/or magnetic fields. The biasing fields and/or waves may urge at least a portion of the process gas towards or away from the substrate.
