Optical Fibers

In chemical vapour deposition (CVD) reactants (as vapours) are induced to react or decompose chemically, leaving the desired material as a film on a substrate. The rates of some reactions may be increased in the presence of a plasma adjacent to the substrate. For more information see the wikipedia article about chemical vapour deposition.

deposition

This is a chemical process used to make high purity and high quality solid materials. It is used frequently in the electronics industry and is also useful in making synthetic diamonds.
