L. Deutschmann et al., PLASMA-ENHANCED CHEMICAL-VAPOR-DEPOSITION OF VANADIUM CARBIDE VC1-X AND VOX FROM VANADOCENE CP2V, Advanced materials, 6(5), 1994, pp. 392-395
Plasma enhanced CVD of vanadium carbide and oxides is reported for the
first time. Vanadium carbide and vanadium oxides are of technological
interest for hard coatings (VC1-x), storage media (VO2), and smart el
ectrochromic windows (V2O5), and until now have been prepared mainly b
y physical deposition methods. The advantages of the precursor vanadoc
ene are outlined and the influence of experimental parameters such as
the hydrogen flow rate and the substrate temperature on the compositio
n and resistivity of the films described.
