What it is

The Aixtron AIX 2600 G 3 is a metal organic chemical vapor deposition reactor used for deposition.[1][3]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A metal organic chemical vapor deposition reactor forms thin films by delivering gaseous precursor compounds into a heated reaction zone where they decompose and react at the wafer surface.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

A metal organic chemical vapor deposition reactor belongs in the thin-film deposition portion of semiconductor fabrication.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Metal organic chemical vapor deposition reactors are used to grow compound semiconductor and epitaxial films for electronic and optoelectronic device structures.
