What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) systems deposit thin films on semiconductor wafers through chemical reactions of gaseous precursors. CVD tools are a core part of front-end-of-line and back-end-of-line fabrication. The equipment class includes reactors that provide controlled temperature, pressure, and gas flow to achieve uniform film growth.
