Quasi-steady state natural convection in laser chemical vapor deposition with a moving laser beam

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

Numerical analysis of laser chemical vapor deposition (LCVD) of Titanium Nitride by a moving laser beam is investigated numerically. The effect of natural convection due to temperature and concentration differences in the gases mixture is modeled and implemented into the thermal model of LCVD by a moving laser beam. The problem is formulated in the coordinate system that moves with the laser beam. The results show that the effect of natural convection on the shape of deposited film is very insignificant for cases with lower laser power but it becomes important when the laser power is increased.
