Project: Terminology of Vapor Deposition Techniques

Number: 230/27/95
Start: 01 January 1995
Project of
Objective

The objective of this project is to establish definitions for the terminology used in vapor deposition science and technology, and to enhance meaningful and accurate communication within the vapor deposition community. The project includes all variations of both chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and physical vapor deposition (PVD). An activity of this type has not been previously attempted for the field of vapor deposition, and will be of great value to the international, interdisciplinary group of people working in this area.

Progress

The objective of this project is to establish definitions for the terminology used in vapor deposition science and technology, and to enhance meaningful communication within the interdisciplinary international vapor deposition community. Both chemical and physical vapor deposition are included. The coordinator has solicited suggestions for terms to include from 40 scientists worldwide.

In 1999, J.O. Carlsson succeeded to Karl E. Spear as coordinator.
