Cy. Xu et al., AEROSOL-ASSISTED CHEMICAL-VAPOR-DEPOSITION (AACVD) OF SILVER, PALLADIUM AND METAL ALLOY (AG1-XPDX, AG1-XCUX AND PD1-XCUX) FILMS, Advanced materials, 6(10), 1994, pp. 746-748
Thermally labile, low-volatility molecules are usually unsuitable as p
recursors for the chemical vapor deposition of high-quality metal film
s. Here, a new method, aerosol-assisted CVD (see Fig.), is reported, a
nd used to produce crystalline silver, palladium, and binary metal all
oy thin films from just such precursors.
