Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A chemical vapour deposition system, including: a process tube for receiving at least one sample, the process tube being constructed of silicon carbide, impregnated with silicon, and coated with silicon carbide; a pumping system to evacuate the process tube to high vacuum; one or more gas inlets for introducing one or more process gases into the evacuated process tube; and a heater to heat the process tube and thereby heat the one or more process gases and the at least one sample within the process tube to cause a material to be deposited onto the at least one sample within the process tube by chemical vapour deposition.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A chemical vapour deposition system, including: a process tube configured to receive at least one sample for deposition of a material thereon; a pumping system to evacuate the process tube; one or more gas inlets for introducing one or more process gases into the evacuated process tube; a heater to heat the process tube and thereby heat the one or more process gases and the at least one sample within the process tube to cause the material to be d…
