Abstract

An eco-friendly Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) reactor was designed and fabricated. The operational sequence of the deposition process is explained. Oxides of copper using copper (II) acetylacetonate as the precursor and oxygen as the carrier gas were deposited using the above system. The thin films thus obtained were characterized by XPS, XRD, SEM and AFM techniques.
