A nonlinear dynamic model of the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process has been developed to aid design of a closed-loop control system. A lumped control volume analysis is used to capture important mass and fluid transients and spatial affects, while a simplified single variable equation is used to represent the complex reaction chemistry. Steady-state experimental results and model predictions are compared and the control implications of the process dynamics are discussed.
