What Does HVPE Stand For?

HVPE stands for Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy

Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy (HVPE) is a specialized technique used in semiconductor manufacturing and materials science for growing high-quality thin films. This method utilizes hydride gas precursors, which are vaporized and then deposited onto a substrate, allowing for precise control over material composition and growth morphology. HVPE is particularly valued for its ability to produce large-area, low-defect-density films, making it ideal for applications in optoelectronics, such as the production of gallium nitride (GaN) for LEDs and laser diodes.
