To demonstrate the use of the CVD option in PHOENICS.

FLOW AND COMPUTATIONAL DETAILS

This is a plasma-enhanced parallel plate reactor for silicon deposition from silane. Three gas-phase and two surface reactions are used; all are plasma-enhanced.

The geometry, velocity vectors and contours of temperature are shown below.
