Vertical CVD electric furnaces generally have vertically arranged furnace tubes, and vertical CVD electric furnaces are also a commonly used electric heating equipment in the heat treatment industry. Vertical CVD systems have specific advantages in some applications, let's take a detailed look below!

Characteristics of vertical CVD electric furnace:
Temperature and airflow uniformity: The vertical design optimizes the furnace structure to make the airflow and temperature distribution more uniform. For example, when depositing carbon materials such as graphene, a uniform temperature field can ensure consistency in film thickness and composition, avoiding performance differences caused by local overheating or uneven deposition.
Efficient use of space: Vertical layout greatly saves laboratory or production space, especially suitable for scenes with limited space. Its compact design can accommodate multiple layers of substrate racks, enabling synchronous processing of multiple samples and improving space utilization.
Large batch processing capability: The multi-layer substrate rack design supports simultaneous deposition of multiple samples, greatly improving production efficiency. For example, in semiconductor manufacturing, multiple wafers can be processed at once to shorten the production cycle.
Pollution control: The directional flow of air from top to bottom reduces the deposition of particles on the substrate surface and lowers the risk of pollution. This characteristic is important for applications that require high cleanliness, such as optical thin films and semiconductor devices.
Independent temperature zone control: Some models adopt multi zone independent temperature control technology, which can set differentiated temperatures for different substrates or process steps to meet complex experimental requirements. For example, in the preparation of multilayer films, each layer can be independently deposited in different temperature zones.
Intelligent pressure regulation: By using a precision pressure control system, the pressure in the reaction chamber is maintained stable, reducing the impact of fluctuations on the sedimentation process. This characteristic is important in micro positive pressure or low-pressure CVD processes to ensure the stability of film quality.
Efficient exhaust treatment: It can be equipped with a multi-stage exhaust treatment system to efficiently collect tar and by-products, reducing environmental pollution. Meanwhile, modular design facilitates cleaning and maintenance, extending the lifespan of the equipment.
Rapid cooling system: Optional external circulation rapid cooling device can greatly shorten the cooling time and improve production efficiency. For example, rapid cooling after high-temperature sintering can prevent material phase transition or cracking, and improve yield.
