Offers an understanding of the advances in the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) process. This book features data on both Plasma CVD and metallo-organic CVD processes. It also explains growing importance of CVD in production of semiconductor and related applications.

Refractory carbides and nitrides are useful materials with numerous industrial applications and a promising future, in addition to being materials of great interest to the scientific community.

Reviews the science and technology of the element carbon and its allotropes - graphite, diamond and the fullerenes. This book provides an account of both the newer and traditional forms of carbon, both naturally occurring and man-made. It is suitable for both specialists in, and occasional users of carbon materials.
