Metal CVD

 

The tungsten chemical vapor deposition (WCVD) is a key process to fabricate reliable contacts, and interconnects in manufacturing semiconductor devices. In the CVD process, tungsten is deposited by hydrogen reduction of WF6. Fluent's CFD software provides a fast way to optimize the hardware by combining accurate transport and chemical kinetics models.
